Bizarre: Cosmeticians Used an 'Israeli Time Machine' and Made Millions
Indian police issued an arrest warrant for a couple who fled the country with millions after scamming clients using an 'Israeli time machine.'
Law enforcement in India began a pursuit of a couple from the north of the country, suspected of defrauding dozens of citizens and extracting large sums of money, accumulating to millions of dollars.
According to reports, the couple, Rajiv Dubey and his wife Rashmi, ran a beauty institute in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, where they promised unique anti-aging treatments using an "Israeli time machine."
The couple claimed that with their device, based on unique Israeli technology, they could repair skin damage caused by the area's extreme air pollution. They promised clients that the treatment was oxygen-based and that the revolutionary device could "turn back time" on facial appearance.
"They charged 6,000 rupees (approximately $71) for each individual treatment and 90,000 rupees (approximately $1,072) for a series of 10 sessions," investigator Anjali Vishwakarma told the Indian news website NDTV. "Later on, the duo turned the scam into a kind of pyramid scheme by offering free oxygen treatments to any customer who brought another client."
Their method worked, and over several years, the couple managed to pocket millions because of the scam.
Indian police issued an arrest warrant for the couple, and it is currently estimated that they managed to leave the country with all the 'loot' from the clients' money along with them.
