Troye Sivan Was Catfished by a Fake Greta Thunberg - Find Out What Happened!

Troye Sivan was the victim of a catfishing scheme.

The singer – who recently teased a new song – was catfished by Russian pranksters pretending they were environmental activist Greta Thunberg and her dad.

“Story time: i got catfished,” Troye captioned an Instagram video on Thursday night (March 26). I’m bored and I’ve wanted to tell this story for ages.”

It all started when Troye‘s manager received a phone call from someone who pretended to be Greta‘s dad. The prankster said that they were planning something called “Stars Save the Earth” and they had a whole to-do list that included swimming with sharks with Leonardo DiCaprio, saving the animals in Africa with Prince Harry, and more.

“I was like, ‘Oh my god, this girl is so inspiring, and now she wants to work with me.’ That’s crazy,” Troye said in the video.

Troye‘s manager gave the pranksters his phone number and Troye only exchanged a couple text messages with the fake Greta before they realized what was going on.

After Troye‘s manager talked on the phone with the “dad,” they watched a video of Greta Thunberg‘s real dad and realized it wasn’t the same person.

Turns out, Troye Sivan isn’t the only one who fell for the prank. See what happened to Prince Harry at
