Spamming is a pain in the arse!! Most social media platforms have their fair share of spammers, including LinkedIn…

There are steps you can take to control spam in LinkedIn

HOW TO REMOVE A CONNECTION THAT IS SPAMMING YOU ON LINKEDIN

1.  Click on ‘Connections’;
2.  On the right hand side click ‘Remove Connections’ and select the connections you want to remove;
3.  Click on ‘Remove Connections’.

HOW TO REPORT AN EMAIL RECEIVED INTO YOUR LINKEDIN INBOX AS SPAM

1.  Open the email and click on the button ‘Report Spam’; When a LinkedIn user receives a number (I think it’s currently 5, I think) of ‘Report Spam’ confirmations they will be reprimanded (currently their account is suspended).
2.  ’Forward’ the offending email directly to abuse@Linkedin.com

HOW TO CONTROL TYPES OF EMAIL YOU RECEIVE IN YOUR LINKEDIN INBOX

1. Under the drop down under your name at the top right of your LinkedIn screen select ‘Settings’;
2. Click ‘Email Preferences’;
3. Click ‘Select the types of message…’;
4. Under ‘Opportunities’ unselect the items you don’t want to be contacted for > include a note under ‘Advice to people…’ > Save Changes.
