I have been trying to use a Linkedin account with a fake name, it used to be possible few years ago but now fake accounts get detected in few days.

I tried to buy stolen account and they get claimed back within days.
Tried to buy fake accounts twice with verifications, and they got detected  in 3 days
Tried to create a fake account from a VM with a VPN and got detected.
After failing this many times I tried from my personal phone as well, with no VPN and it still got detected.

I don't get how they are detecting the accounts without me performing any actions on them other then logging in, I literally log in few times and then get prompted for ID verification.

Anyone have a clue of what might get detected here? is it the IP, the device fingerprint or something else?
