Why can I not access Microsoft's support? Access denied?

I am trying to contact Microsoft to deal with an account they decided to lock out. And I cannot reach the support website. I just get the following error when I navigate to the website Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://support.microsoft.com/" on this server. Reference #18.a49a3b17.1700526724.806d502

The phone support just tells me to go to this website that doesn't work. How can I deal with this if I cannot access the support page?

    Until MSFT fixes the issue, try either 1) attempting right after a fresh reboot (this sometimes works for me) or 2) launch a VPN then attempt (this always works for me so far. I choose a UK server).
