I joined a “get rich quick” investment group on Facebook. I sent $5,000 in crypto, and now the group’s gone. Is there any way to recover it?

Facebook investment scams follow a predictable pattern, and speed is the hook. A post appears on a quiet afternoon promising fast gains, framed by images of polished young professionals and screenshots showing balances climbing. Comments pile up quickly, filled with praise and short success stories that suggest momentum and safety. Those cues push aside hesitation, and just like that, interested members are pulled from public threads into private messages, then urged to send crypto, which settles within minutes and leaves no easy trail back. Once enough money arrives, the group shuts down without warning. The loss feels abrupt because the setup depends on silence after urgency. This cycle repeats daily, catching people who trust regulated systems and expect accountability where none exists.
