Oh, that’s so very Meta and Twitter and Reddit. I believe they return a delayed response only to maintain appearances of some human being having had a look at the reports.

What I don’t understand is how come a user was anonymous in a Facebook group.

Facebook groups have an option to permit anonymous posts, on the basis the group moderator can handle the tidal wave of bad that will probably happen.

Of course, you're not anonymous on the back end, just publicly.
