That is rather far fetched. Why would the Quincy not simply take/kidnap these powerless Humans rather than going through such an elaborate charade, especially with a person that (other than Mizuiro) they didnt even know beyond him obviously being a Shinigami? If you were doing such a thing and you actually knew who Ichigo's friends were, then chances are you would know that they know Rukia and using her would make more sense for such a plot than a captain they've only seen once. If this was true it would not take effect for quite some time, so it would be someone playing a really long game.
