Help my friend wedding become a success by finding a dress!!

My best friends wedding is on 9/1/24. She has been planning her wedding for the past year. She found a dress shop called Bellesima Couture at 506 Black Diamond st, Pittsburg, CA. 94565, to alter her wedding dress, as well as her flower girls dresses. My bestie has visited the shop on numerous occasions to do fittings and make her payments. Today, on 8/20/24, she was scheduled to pick the dresses up. She communicated with the shop owner on 8/19/24 and agreed on pick up today. When my friend showed up, to her surprise the shop was locked and completely Empty!! No dresses, no furniture, no people, NO ANYTHING. She contacted the owner and was instructed to come to her house (9 Alta Vista Court, Pittsburg, CA. 94565)to pick the dresses up which was extremely odd. My bestie showed up, rang the bell and no answer! She is now out of a wedding dress, veil, flower girls dresses, hundreds of dollars and lost time. Her wedding is in 12 DAYS! I feel so horrible for my friend. She is the SWEETEST and most giving and considerate person in my life. She doesn't deserve this AT ALL. I hope this segment can bring some attention to this scam and possibly help catch this crooked business owner. There are others that have been scammed as well and I am hoping they get some sort of comfort from knowing they are not alone in this horrible experience. "
