Approximately a year ago, I made the decision to purchase an aged LinkedIn account from one of the providers I found on a forum. Although I won't mention the provider's name, I'd like to share my experience.
The provider had multiple aged accounts available and shared a list for me to choose from. Eventually, I bought two of those accounts. The provider gave me specific instructions not to modify the experience or change the account names, among other things. Additionally, they provided me with the corresponding email addresses associated with those accounts, which were Yahoo emails.
I followed the instructions diligently, stoping from making any changes to the accounts. I logged in approximately five times from the United States and simply engaged in liking various posts. That was the extent of my activity.
However, to my dismay, I discovered that both of the purchased accounts were restricted, and LinkedIn demanded that I upload documents to verify the authenticity of the accounts as real people. Unfortunately, I had no documentation to provide in this regard.
Moreover, when I attempted to access the Yahoo email accounts associated with the LinkedIn accounts, I discovered that the passwords had been changed, rendering me unable to gain access to those email accounts as well.
Yesterday, I revisited the messages exchanged between myself and the seller. I realized that the seller had initially provided me with a selection of eight accounts to choose from, but I only ended up purchasing two of them. To my surprise, all eight accounts had been deleted.
This experience proved to be a regretful waste of $80.
