The seventh video exploded in popularity, and she jokingly said, “If you’re watching this, you’re in Group 7.” That simple sentence turned into one of the fastest-spreading social-media trends of 2025.

There’s a new kind of digital marketing scam sweeping through social media, dressed in designer clothes and promising fast income with zero experience.
