An Indian couple is wanted by police for scamming dozens of unsuspecting victims by promising to make them look young again with the help of an Israeli time machine.

Rajeev Kumar Dubey and his wife Rashmi Dubey pulled off one of the most incredible scams in the history of mankind. The Indian couple owned a therapy center in Kanpur, India’s Uttar Pradesh state, where they allegedly convinced people that they were aging rapidly due to excessively polluted air and claimed that they could reverse the process with the help of an “Israel-made time machine” and oxygen therapy. The Dubeys are suspected of having deceived many elderly people looking for a way of regaining their youth and filling their pockets with 35 crore Indian rupees ($4.1 million).

“They offered packages for Rs 6,000 ($72) for 10 sessions and Rs 90,000 (for a three-year reward system,” senior police official Anjali Vishwakarma told NDTV, adding that the couple turned their scam into a pyramid scheme by promising clients free oxygen therapy sessions for every new customer they brought to their clinic.

Renu Singh, one of the gullible victims, filed a police complaint alleging that she was cheated of ₹ 10.75 lakh ($21,000) and telling police that hundreds of people have lost a combined 35 crore ($4.1 million). So far, the police have evidence that over two dozen people have been scammed by the Dubeys, but the investigation is still ongoing.

 

It’s unclear how Rajeev and Rashmi Dubey convinced people that they could reverse the effects of aging, but the victims who have come forward so far said that they promised visible results in a matter of months, thanks to the miraculous time machine imported from abroad. They claimed they could reverse aging by up to 20 years and even repair damaged internal organs.

Indian police registered a cheating case against the Dubeys and are looking for the couple. Airports have been notified to stop them from boarding any airplanes but they are believed to have already fled abroad with their victims’ money.
