changing the currency and checking your time zone? can you explain better please because i disconnected from the appstore and now im blocked

plus information that i checked on forums:

1 apparently i violated a rule of terms and condition that says its not permitted to change the country store from a country to another and then comeback again

2 a guy said that its 50/50 apple can get back the account or not but i dont want the not because the phone will be blocked and cant even format the phone

3 from now its 18hour till apple didnt send me an email or anything to tell me what to do

4 when i changed the store from france to colombia i typed random adress like colombia street etc.. i dont have an adresse in colombia and when switch to france i put my original adress but like i dont live in france i put my algerian adress
