Azure Subscription Disabled - Issue

I recently created a forum about my Azure Pay-As-You-Go subscription which was disabled by Microsoft Azure's system (as stated in the logs). After a month's work, I thought mining cryptocurrency on my vms was the reason for this occurence but I was later confirmed it wasn't....yet I still couldn't be told the reason for my account/subscription to disable.

You can read my forum here:

My effort so far hasn't helped very much at all as I'm unable to get in touch with support via a support ticket very well. As I haven't purchased support for my subscription, I'm getting silly not even helpful messages that simply clarify what action has been taken against my account, like this is literally theft. I find it highly stupid that for technical support I should have to pay for it but even so, I cannot upgrade my support as write permissions for everything in my Azure account and subscription are disabled and I only have read permissions for everything.

Why does this suck so much...if anyone can get in touch with a technician for me as I can't pay for this stupid crap or provide me an email address for technical support where I don't get absolutely frustrating dumb messages (said in my previous forum in italics font) so I can get my subscription re-enabled or at least a reason why it was flagged by Azure's dumb retarded security system that flags everything and steals your money....I hate Azure.....so much. I'm incredibly disappointed.

PS

Now that I think about it, it makes sense that either

a) My subscription was disabled because I made 8 GPU Win-VM's all at once and it was flagged by the system

b) Crypto-currency mining was detected as suspicious activity either from a system security bug as it's updated on the Terms of Service but could potentially not be on the Azure's system admin security thingy.

I was also using a Azure for Students subscription a year ago and only recently "upgraded" (for Student subscription: all credit has been used, trial expired -> that subscription disabled (which was long ago))... So I had my Azure account for about half a year to a year with no subscription (between Azure for Students expiration and Pay-As-You-Go purchase) as I wasn't using Azure services. I dunno, maybe Azure's silly security system flagged this as it thought my subscription was still the student subscription?? (cryptomining isn't allowed on Azure for Students but it is for Pay-As-You-Go as confirmed in my previous forum).
