Went on vacation and all my points are gone?

Was out of town for the month and when I returned I had lost all my points I earned on Perk? It's taken me 6 months on an idle tablet to get them and they just take them away that quickly...? Is there anyone I can talk to to get them returned? I was away from a computer for about 45 days, there's nothing I could have really done to appear active in that time besides nagging a friend to watch ads for me.

How is it not a scam that this website takes around a year of ad-watching to earn a reward, only to take any progress away in less than 10% of that time?
