We have sent multiple emails to Bricklink, asking to resolve this issue and
we have yet to receive any replies to our requests. Also, our service provider
cannot change our IP address and resetting our router also does not change our
IP. We need this resolved soon. Does anyone know how we can contact Bricklink
by phone, or how we can fix this problem?

I would start by reading the TOS you agreed to when you signed up on the site.
https://www.bricklink.com/v3/terms_of_service.page
Pay particular attention to Section 17.
I have gotten 1 minute blocks back when I was least favoriting 10,000 stores
(at 9,653 right now), because I was loading stores so fast.
If this has been going on for a month, the problem isn't going to fix itself.
You must have been doing some hard scraping to where the site considered it a
DDOS attack.
I would not repeat this behavior in the future. The API is provided, learn how
to use it.
Here are 5 options. This isn't even a full list.
1.) Send endless emails letting Bricklink staff know you were abusing their site.
Probably doesn't matter because you are unlikely to get a response that solves
your problem.
2.) Change your IP address. If your router doesn't have this feature, buy
another router.
3.) Request your provider change your IP address. You didn't try hard enough.
4.) Switch providers.
5.) Use a VPN with coupon for $25-$30 US a year ($2 a month).
Youtube and Google are your friends.
