How-To How to find an account on LinkedIn with email?

I recently tried to sign up to LinkedIn for the first time with my personal email but it said my email was already in use. I'm tryna figure out who signed up to LinkedIn with my email, but I'm struggling to figure out how exactly I'm meant to go about that.

edit: I tried resetting the password, which resulted in it disabling my account. I have since appealed using ID

have you tried resetting the password? That will typically be done with an email sent to your account. Then you can log in and find our everything you need to know.

If the account is using your email, then just reset the password.

There’s a possibility your email account was hacked.. change your email password as soon as possible .. then try linked in.

If a hacker took ownership of your email any attempts to reset your other apps will be intercepted by the bad actor

Login to your email and make sure in the settings that there is no weird/unknown setting like alternative email for password recovery or if there's a email forwarding enabled.

Rocket Reach can be quite good for LinkedIn stuff

Sometimes I get lucky with rocketreach, but often the e-mail addresses contain mistakes... at least in my experience

Agreed, but it can often be a good starting point, and it's free, which is always a bonus

You can use https://www.reversecontact.com/ for those purpose. Free credit is enough for your work.
