British pop singer Sir Elton John thought he had a phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin about gay rights.

“Thank you to President Vladimir Putin for reaching out and speaking via telephone. I look to forward to meeting with you face-to-face to discuss LGBT equality in Russia,” John typed in a cutline under Putin’s portrait in his Instagram account. But it turned out to be a fake call from Russian pranksters Alexei Stolyarov and Vladimir Krasnov, not from Putin.
