Quoted from ForceFlow:"pinball machine shop" is a scam profile.
The bottom two links that you posted redirect to some jurassic park pinball fan page, so I'm not sure if you pasted the correct links. However, the screenshots are certainly scam profiles.
Can you share the links of those profiles? I can then add them to the list.
I think I gave the links of me seeing their post as an admin on that page, not their main profile
Should have given these:
facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090283909013 (Fon Ken has already changed his name to Smith William since that post)

Got a post today just linking to what looks like scam page:

Posted link to profile
facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089797134165&mibextid=LQQJ4d (Classic Pinballs And Arcade Games)
Their website on that profile
pinballgamesusa.com/
Googled the text off the site how they started and ended up here:
pincardiaarcade.com/

Googling facebook email pinballmachineshopify[at]gmail.com leads to elitepinballstore.com (unreachable)
Looks like google cache page from Dec 2022 is a website course for marketing/building a site.

Well, if I google "is all about fun! You can play pinball,classic arcade, and more", so is Eau Claire with the same hours lol
#arcademaxillaire - ECG&A is all about fun! You can play pinball,classic arcade, and more
Oh wait, there's a bonus hit... what's this mysterious Bitcoin investment page?
"WM is all about fun!" with the same hours, activities, punctuation, and spacing as well!
Is google drunk? Did that phrase use to exist on that page somewhere? In edited comments? I dunno.
OK getting off track...better get back to FB profile.
Oh good, they do advertise they service India, so that's pretty cool if I ever want to go there.
Somewhere in the middle, I tried some searches of these things against this thread and pinside search didn't find them.
Didn't find them even after I tried things I knew.
Oh look there's a hit for 100076246921424 in post #410 in the user id
Thought I was done...came back for an edit.

Scammer? Or good deal and a lazy flip artist?
When your number of friends is single digits and your number of groups is triple...
...and your first profile was already banned based on messages to group members....
Just couldn't wait a whole 30 mins to post this amazing deal to the group I guess!
Deleted as a duplicate post since the first one was still active already

Anyone recognize these? Or wanna dig?
