Type of a scam Online Purchase

There is a group on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/instagramfabulous/ which was created with the intention to support each other. It was created 3 years ago by a person named Cody Paige Lowery, but she never participated in managing the group. This group gained a lot of popularity because it was a free-support group. It gained around 42000 members. After 3 years of doing nothing, she got an evil thought of scamming all the 42k members. At first, she announced her website https://www.socialmediafabulous.com/ in which you do the same things but for $35/ month. She removed mods and other admins so that they won’t reveal her scam. When she realized people are not signing up, she closed and achieved the group to force people to pay $35 for engagement they were getting for free. However, she has no experience in the past and has no theme which is why her business is not working. She is blocking all the people who are asking for a refund. Justifying shutting down the other group and forcing people into a term violating paid service

because the "test/launcher group" is closing is not okay. That’s not what that group was, she never disclosed this to people and obtain their consent before they are part of a beta or test group for a business launch, and people thought they were simply joining a support group, not test study for future corporation launch. This is not ethical, it is scamming, not you "taking away free samples" before selling it, because she didn’t disclose people were a test study group and she lied about its future as a paid only service…. People did not consent to this study and she misused her power over a group of large people. I am attaching screenshots where she claimed that this group will remain open and it is a support group not some kind of test along with screenshots of her closing the group unethically and forcing people to pay, and how people are not getting the services mentioned in her website. Update: I am not able to attach many images so merging all in one.
