How is it a “scam” if the terms are clearly posted? EDIT: The percentage increase from 2% to 30% was not posted; I withdraw my opinion on that.

- pavel_lishin 5y agoThe "30% markup if our algorithm thinks you're doing something sneaky" was not disclosed.
- teddyh 5y agoTrue, it was not. I concede this point.
- ZetaZero 5y ago2% was clearly posted. Yet the plugin was taking 30%.
- op00to 5y agoHuge red flag: they offer you some money back in hopes you don't turn them into the "authorities".
- teddyh 5y agoWouldn’t not offering any money back be an even bigger red flag?
- gruez 5y agoThat's how settlements work, yes.
- nrmitchi 5y agoIs it though? A settlement in a civil case is money in exchange for not pursuing further civil legal action. A situation of "we're giving you money so that you don't report a crime" (which is implied by "turning in to the authorities") is more like extortion/bribery than it is a settlement.
- PeterisP 5y agoThe terms are not clearly stated, the explicit LICENSE document https://github.com/floatinghotpot/cordova-admob-pro/blob/master/LICENSE https://github.com/floatinghotpot/cordova-admob-pro/blob/mas... offers a standard MIT license, unlike the wiki description.
- remram 5y agoThe license states how you may use the code, not what the code does.
