DON'T USE PLUGIN FROM THIS GUY, HE STEALS 30% OF YOUR MONEY! #118

Hi every one, don't use https://github.com/floatinghotpot/cordova-plugin-facebookads or https://github.com/floatinghotpot/cordova-admob-pro

These plugins includes a precompiled .jar for "license system check" that share with the plugin author 30% of you traffic.

If you sniff the http traffic of your app with the plugin installed, you'll notice an http request to http://adlic.rjfun.com/adlic that returns a response with a "r" parameters set to "30". This means that you are sharing the 30% of you traffic.

I know that the license says the if you don't pay the 20$ license, you are agree with sharing the 2% of you traffic.

If use in commercial project, please get a license, or, you have monetized more than $1000 using this plugin, you are also required to: either get a commercial license ($20), or, no need pay but share 2% Ad traffic, read the License Agreement for details. As a commercial customer, you will be supported with high priority, via private email or even Skype chat.

BUT 30% is NOT 2%!!!

I found out that a guy on ionic forum had exactly the same problem. The plugin author remove his issue and then removed the issue tab from admob pro. Here's the topic: https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/don-t-use-admob-pro-plugin-steal-30/90245

And here's the pdf with the emails that he wrote to the plugin author: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5vtpya8P4b-NUZTdUhBVkFlU0E/view?usp=sharing

I tried to write 3/4 emails to the plugin author 3 weeks ago asking for explainations, but still got no answer.

I believe this is very incorrect, a real scam.
