Another scammer artist, how should I act?

This time it happened at me, an artist that I thought was safe and that I commissioned several times, after almost a year of accumulating excuses after excuses for not delivering the finished works to me (it was also quite expensive), she finally decided to block me , with a nice middle fingered message and completely unreachable on any platform, as far as I know she still works on facebook, but that platform doesn't allow me to report someone for scam, only for bullying, false identity or inappropriate content, just plain ridiculous I can't even report it.

Has this ever happened to you? How do you usually react to these things? Do you know if there is a way, not so much to get the money back, but to prevent her from stealing other people's money?

Other than that, I have a very rough sketch I got of the work I was waiting for, do you think I should use these sketches for me and finish the drawings by myself, as this is something I paid for and didn't get? or would there be copyright issues? I mean, I don't think she can claim something of herself is that's something she stole.

Thanks in advance for the advice and have a good day!

If its on paypal you could try filing a dispute. IDK how they handle it past the 6 month period. You could also try to post "buyers beware" type stuff. I am of the personal belief that if someone steals your money in a situation like this then you have every right to flame them in public.

I didn't know the existence of this blog, it will surely avoid more people get in trouble with her, thank you, so helpful!
