Wittels McInturff Palikovic is investigating numerous complaints regarding LinkedIn’s potentially fraudulent practice of automatically enrolling customers in pricey paid plans after ostensibly free trials and charging recurring payments or large annual fees without consumers’ consent.
Upon investigation, evidence suggests that LinkedIn may have lured users into paid subscription plans unknowingly with misleading free trials, deliberately hiding the fact that those trials will automatically convert into paid subscriptions. Evidence further suggests that even customers who successfully cancel these trial memberships within the trial period may still be charged, in some cases hundreds of dollars they never agreed to pay. WMP has already filed class actions against companies that have engaged in similar deceptive practices and may file similar lawsuits on behalf of LinkedIn users unwittingly roped into paid memberships to recover unauthorized charges and other damages.
Consumer complaints about LinkedIn accuse the company of billing them without notice or authorization, including no confirmation emails about a subscription or payment. Customers call this practice “tantamount to fraud,” “outrageous,” and accuse LinkedIn of being a “scam.” Consumers who try to cancel their subscriptions report that there is no way to contact LinkedIn customer service by phone, chat, or email, allege that when they do try to contact customer service, they are bounced around without ever being provided a way to talk to a representative, and describe the quality of customer service as “abysmal.”
If you were enrolled in a paid LinkedIn membership and charged recurring payments or a large annual fee by LinkedIn without your knowledge or consent, you are not alone! We urge you to contact a class action attorney at WMP for a free case evaluation. Should a lawsuit be brought, there is no cost or fee involved in joining the case.
