...
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.

OK so basically, your saying that the SEC tracked you down to get a like on their facebook page.
Glad we cleared that up.

Anyway,
the point I'm making is simply that if one was to use your statement of an sec email address as proof of anything, that could be a mistake to do that.

Out of curiosity, what would you have asked them for to prove their identity?

An email from them firstly.
I could prove to myself their identity from their email being sent to me ... since I know exactly how to verify an email header sent to me and I run email servers that allow me to fully verify email sources and destinations ... before the message even got to my desktop.

In your case, I have no idea of your ability to do that or of the security of your desktop to avoid compromise.

But I certainly would not provide them with any details about myself without some other proof like: who I should direct my call to when I call them back on the SEC listed govt phone number ...

Anyway, this discussion has gone beyond the point required in here.
The point being as I said quoted above.
