Important Message from Ricky
It has come to my attention that once again someone on Facebook is passing themselves off as me.

I have no facebook page, no myspace page and this is the only official website.

Please inundate any other fakes you see with cries of "You're not the real Ricky".

But I am. Thank you. Ricky
