Group Text Investment Pitch Scam

Scammers send a flashy investment pitch to a big iMessage or SMS group with people you don’t know. The message promises fast “retirement” gains, includes a short web link, and sometimes says to reply “YES” so they can “reopen” the link. The goal is to get you to click, talk to them privately, and eventually send money to a fake “investment” or trading account (often tied to crypto or forex). Once you deposit, your money becomes very hard to get back.
