COMMENTS
Kazimierz Szymiczek asked about the existence of such pseudoprimes in 1972 (Problem 42 in Rotkiewicz's book). Rotkiewicz found the first 6 terms. Rotkiewicz also proved that there is no Fermat pseudoprime n such that n-1 is prime.
Subsequence of A006935.

EXAMPLE
161038 is in the sequence since it is a Fermat pseudoprime (2^161038 == 2 (mod 161038)), and 161038 + 1 = 161039 is prime.
