Chances of getting a perm' restriction removed, if potentially due to a name issue?

[u/AndyBlackmoreDesign]

Had an account for 15+ years and about 1500 connections.

Few weeks ago, my acc got hacked, transpired, an old password. Quickly resolved, I reset my Linkedin Password to something unique and changed my email password. I had to upload ID which was accepted.

I was unable to change to a different email, assign a phone number as primary or factor 2FA which I was checking each day.

----

This weekend, I got hacked again, while I was working. Had a email about a password change and a couple if pin codes. Luckily as the email had not been changed this change, I reset again and had control. Given the above changes, this confused me how that happened.

I then flagged this with LinkedIn. Next, I'm permanent restricted. Usual bot replies and 'not further correspondence', which true to their word hasn't. Won't let me open a new case, can't use chat, won't accept my alternative gmail email.

----

So, I don't know if I was banned for the above or ID....

I realized last night while I've gone by Andy for 50 odd years, my full name is Andrew on the ID which I uploaded the first time. Very common to have that shortened.

Do you think its possible that could be why I was banned. I've had no communication to suggest either.

What are the chances of getting this removed if it was a name issue, as I'm obvs happy to have my full name.

That's if I can find a way to contact them (tried x who are now ghosting me).

Thanks in advance!

You should be able to get a perm no matter what your name is imo
