Can you try running with debug information enabled, and then giving some of that output? (make sure to remove all personal data)

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from fbchat import Client
from fbchat.models import *
import logging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

client = Client(<id>, <pwd>, logging_level=logging.DEBUG)
client.send(Message(<text>), thread_id=<groupId>, thread_type=ThreadType.GROUP)
client.logout()

And is it possible for you to try running on another python version (e.g. Python 3.7)?
