Ang Buong Kwneto Bago at Pagkatapos ng Face-to-Face Conference with the SEC
Prior to the face-to-face conference invitation on September 06 by the SEC through Atty. Filbert Flores III, I went up to my room to check if there were any important messages on Facebook that I needed to respond to. While browsing Facebook on my phone, I received a notification that my Gmail account had been logged out and required me to re-enter my password. Initially, I ignored the notification.
A few minutes later, when I opened my laptop to check my email—since I was waiting for confirmation from the SEC about whether the conference would proceed on Friday, as announced by Atty. Filbert—I found that my Gmail account was also logged out on my laptop and was prompting me to re-enter my password. This unexpected log-out raised concerns about the security of my email account.
I tried every possible way to recover my account, hoping to use the “Forgot Password” option, but unfortunately, there was no option available. This made me increasingly worried. I attempted multiple times to recover my account through my mobile phone, but that didn’t work either. I also tried using the two-factor authentication from Microsoft and the Google Authenticator app on my phone, but those methods failed as well. The hijackers had changed the mobile phone numbers, removed the authenticator, and deleted the recovery email addresses associated with all my Google accounts.
While I was in the process of trying to recover my account, I continued my efforts to contact the SEC to confirm whether the conference would proceed as planned. Eventually, I received an SMS confirming the schedule. Knowing that many sellers were eagerly awaiting my confirmation about the conference, I promptly announced the confirmed details in my Facebook group.
I also made an announcement that my YouTube channel had been hacked. I typically use my YouTube channel to share every detail of my plans and to provide instructions. After sharing this news, there was speculation that my appearance at the SEC conference might be canceled. Some people even speculated that I had hacked and removed my own personal channel, but that was not the case. My YouTube channel is a source of income for me, so there is no reason why I would compromise it myself.
The Coincidence
Maraming sellers ang nagbigay ng kani-kanilang mga opinyon dahil napaka-coincidence na mangyaring kung kailan kinabukasan na ang conference saka pa na-hacked ang aking account. Marami ang nagsabing sinadya ko ang mga pangyayari upang may maidahilan ako dahil wala daw talaga akong balak magpunta sa SEC o gumawa ng aksyon upang makuha ang perang pinaghirapan.
Ang bagay na iyan ay isang haka-haka lamang dahil alam ko sa sarili ko ang gusto kong mangyari. Makuha ang perang naipit. Hindi ko naisip na magkunwaring gumagalaw pero hindi pala. Hindi ko naisip na manahimik na lamang kaya naging maingay ako at halos ilang beses akong nag-live sa YouTube to inform the sellers.
The Conference
Noong nasa SEC Conference Room na kami ay pinagalitan ako ni Atty. Filbert dahil ang dating sa kanila ay inuudyukan ko ang mga taong magreklamo o kwestyunin ang SEC sa kanilang naging desisyon. Ipinaliwanag ko naman sa kanila na hindi ganoon ang stand ko dahil mula umpisa ay pareho ko ng tiningnan ang panig at lapses ng dalawa.
I also insists na nakakabili ako ng mga produkto ng Seataoo at sa katunayan ay walong beses na akong bumili at dumating naman ito.
Ang naging advise ng SEC ay ang mga sumusunod:
- Iparating sa Seataoo na makipag-usap sila.
- Iparating na may amnesty program ang ahensya
- Ipinaliwanag din ng SEC ang tungkol sa winding-up period na 3 years.
