I didn't post about this after they called.

How do you know it was SEC? Did they prove they were really SEC?

I did my own research on the people I talked to and I also communicated with them via e-mail.

Pretty hard to forge a sec.gov e-mail address.

No. It's simple to forge.

Actually - anyone can email from bill.gates@microsoft.com if they want ...

The thing you would need to check is the appropriate part of the email header stating where the email came from ... and understand how to check that ...

Yes, I know, but they actually called me first, gave me their e-mail addresses and I e-mailed them.

In other words, it would be tricky for you to tell me, "hey, send me an e-mail at kano@sec.gov" and let's talk" and expect it to work

If it was a scam, I don't understand what the point of it was. Mostly everything I told them I had already said on the forums here. They just asked me about my bitfunder transactions and if I would like their page on facebook.
