Linode keeps rejecting the signups on their server saying the account is fraudulent. I am sure many users are facing the same.

Moreover even after mailing support, I don't receive responses from them. There are many cases like this

How are we going to participate?

Hey Chilarai any updates regarding this issue? I have contacted the Linode support team but they are not responding.

hey Muhammad Shahzad Ali, I did also write to them but they won't respond.

However, I found out that debit cards don't work (clearly mentioned on their signup page in a footnote). I finally succeeded after using a credit card. You need to use a credit card while signing up. Also, probably a renowned credit card brand like Master, Visa, or Amex is required. For us in India, Rupay doesn't work.

Lastly, using a business email might help better than regular ones like Gmail, Yahoo, or Live.

Omar Moustafa I have tried 3 times they still rejecting the request. I see many of the users facing this issue and don't understand on which criteria they are rejecting the request.
