offical ricardo facebook page fake?

Post by Themis »

Ricardo Villalobos (Official)
hi guys. i will release soon a private music community where i will share my music library and more stuffs. please hold in your mind that i will need to pay for the server costs so the membership will around 15$ monthly... please drop a like if you are interested and also mail me at * villalobos.membership@gmail.com * required members to start: 150
this seems not like ricardo at all to me.

also most of the posts are definitly not from ricardo, it just seems strange that he would try to engage the way he does on most posts.

i thought maybe his agency posts every day stuff for him, but this now seems like a scam.

he will share his music libary ?!?! wtf

i think i will drop a mail to cocoon to clear this up

Yea, ive been thinking the same thing actually, some of his posts just seem very out of character based on interviews ive read or watched! no wonder he hates the internet!

but on the other hand, there is a lot of work in this page, he posts nearly every day, everytime with up to date pictures, flyers of events ect.

if its a fake its a good one.

page could be hacked?

Thats true but a couple of things ring alarm bells for me

It seems very out of character for him to share his music via a medium he openly hates (the internet)

Is Ricardo no Berlin based? Seems strange that he would ask for the fee in dollars rather than euros...

I dont know anything about hosting servers and the costs but 150 x 15$/month seems a hell of a lot to me...

You are right though, it does seem very professional but at 15$/month they stand to make a hell of a lot of money so it would be worth the leg work of making it look pro for them if they are in fact criminals. That said though i could be wrong, if theres one thing ive learned about ricardo over the years its that he never does what i expect.

im 100% sure its fake. openly begging money to maintain a server? haha. i wont feel pity for anybody who pays for this and eventually lost all of their money. they would deserve it.
