DON'T USE PLUGIN FROM THIS GUY, HE STEALS 30% OF YOUR MONEY! #160

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.

Hey @Be4t5 thanks for sharing. This plugin is awesome and easy to configure in cordova from other plugins, that's why many developer used it.

One thing, have you any alternative plugins that you can trust?

@Be4t5 thanks for your opinion. I also decided to use admob-plus.

One more thing, this developer also serve cordova-nativeaudio plugin that i already used my projects. And there is another issue for phone state access "https://github.com/floatinghotpot/cordova-plugin-nativeaudio/issues/112". Resolved repo is "https://github.com/wizpanda/cordova-plugin-nativeaudio#difference-from-original-plugin"
