This reminds me of Ponzi schemes that once mushroomed in India. The scheme went something like this: A company would ask people to invest in a (rubber/teak/sandalwood) plantation project. The investors had to pay the company to buy and plant trees on their behalf; and the investors would get the return after, say, 20-30 years once the plantation started generating profits.
