I wonder if more those accounts have pro and can see you viewed them recently, probably multiple accounts are owned by the same groups so when they get a report on a bunch of posts they simple map "who looked at both profiles".
- LewisVerstappen 4y agoThey don't even need LinkedIn Pro btw, they just have to turn Private Mode off. If you let other people see that you viewed their profile then LinkedIn will let you see who viewed your profile. So yeah your theory seems most likely unless OP had Private Mode turned on for his profile (then they wouldn't be able to see that he saw their profile regardless of whether or not they have LinkedIn Pro).
- anshumankmr 4y agoIsn't that a bug? If you report someone,the person should not be able to see who reported them, right??
- wruza 4y agoTechnically they aren’t. Like when you visit a site, other sites cannot, oh wait…
- usrn 4y agoAll this counter-intuitive crap is why I don't ever even open LinkedIn.
- iso1631 4y agoMy ESTA ran out shortly after covid started, and I didn't renew it until Febuary this year. Shortly after putting in for it, my linkedin reported I had a visit from a "Law Enforcement professional from the Washington-Baltimore area", which I thought was amusing.
- londons_explore 4y agoI want to know what they're looking for that could get them to reject the ESTA...? If writing "illegal drug salesman" as your profession gets your ESTA application blocked, then there is nothing to stop some stranger setting up a fake linkedin profile with the same.
- ben_w 4y agoAre ESTAs the one where applicants have to list their own social media accounts, or am I thinking of something else? Last time I went to the US was 2018, so even if I remember right, things may have changed.
- tinco 4y agoI went in 2021, and I had to fill in social media accounts, they didn't say to which sites so I listed a whole bunch of them.

- ksala_ 4y agoI just got my ESTA a week ago, there is a section where they ask for your social media aliases but it's optional and can be left empty. I did so and had no issues.
- ta988 4y agoIt may be simpler than that, one cause of rejection is you working in the US while not allowed. I keep hearing about people that get busted (most by the time they are reaching customs) by pictures or messages on their social media accounts showing that they worked (even just helping family) while in US on tourist visas.

- 0x0000000 4y ago> If you let other people see that you viewed their profile then LinkedIn will let you see who viewed your profile. Not if the viewer has Private Mode on. Having Private Mode off for yourself is not sufficient to see who viewed your profile.
- trinsic2 4y agoI left LinkedIn years ago when I realized they were co-opting my ability to link to external articles by creating there own framework to attempt to get all their users to post updates strictly on there own platform.
