The Head of the US Central Bank appears to be the latest personality to fall prey to a pair of Russian pranksters.
A video call with Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell was shared on Russian television from The Duo , whose prior targets include Prince Harry and former German Chancellor Angela Merkel .
The Fed said Mr Powell had spoken to someone in January he thought was Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky .
It said it had referred The Matter to law enforcement.
" It was a friendly conversation and took place in a context of our standing in support of the Ukrainian people in this challenging time, " a spokesperson said. " No sensitive or confidential information was discussed. "
