How did I mess around to find out? I did not know I did anything malicious, intentionally. Do you think I would put my full name, photo of myself, my about story and a link to my LinkedIn profile if I were doing something shady?

Did you even read my story?

I clearly explained I just offered a 3rd party service for reviewing others LinkedIn profiles which is not illegal or against their terms. There is a whole industry dedicated to this service.

The only thing I did was created a dedicated landing page for seo juice to my fiverr gig, that’s it. I’m not sure why they came at me so hard as I would’ve obliged to their request.

You know what you did. You messed with their brand. People get crushed all the time for impersonating a brand.

"I would’ve obliged to their request."

Well, you didn't. They fired the warning shot and you didn't move. You remind me all the arrogant people in videos of police who get warned about something and do it again anyway and then protest loudly when they get arrested.
