Heads up, I saw on Twitter yesterday that Coinomi successfully contacted NameCheap and got them to take down a scam website. Since mybtgwallet.com is also registered at NameCheap, I contacted them and they had me open a ticket with their legal department. I asked for the site to be reviewed/taken down and pointed them to this thread for details.

We'll see what happens. No chance we'll get our funds back but at least we might put a stop to it.

Of course, the new wallets are insecure, because the development and encryption of these new wallets are inherently low and are likely to be stolen from bitcoin, so in the end it is advisable to use a well-known and longer-lived wallet.

I tried to access my BTG through my BTC wallet. I guess I told them my seed and fucked up. $280 gone. I trusted the site but well... Cheesy

I've used a "wallet"-link from their official page but the page seems to updated their wallets and the one is not listed anymore Cheesy Ah yes, it was http://mybtgwallet.com/
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-gold-scam-site-mybtgwalletcom-2412182

my funds were sent to following address:
1NJv7juV8LcLBo4egLvarkEVWskgjhY6NQ
1DVhaBdbp5mx5Y8zR1qR9NBiQtrgL9ZNQs

anyone else?

well that can't be help next time don't told them your seed or stop using their site anymore and find a more trusted one. always research first before depositing to a site you never know it will stole your bitcoin.

When they announce about creating a clone of Bitcoin entire blockchain, mate you'd get scammed just by trusting these outrageous claims, if you turn off

Your computer and think deeply about this situation, you'd ask yourself:>> why would anyone spend their money to donate to every Bitcoin holder? no one

Official capacity or otherwise has ever endorsed such chain splits. is that not an alarm for you?

I think you should be keen in selecting reputable wallet address and one thing is never reveal your private keys everytime you go in internet cafe. Thats only an example because mostly that is cases of hacking account forgetting to sign out.

This is one of the reason, I’ve never trust a developers of a fork coin. Anyway I don’t support that copycat shitcoin since before I’ve become aware of they’re tendency to make fool of everyone’s hardwork bitcoin be in this situation. That’s a lesson learned to you and anyone else that trusting those hype promises of doing a better version of bitcoin is nothing but a shameful reality of scammers. So take a look back at this moment when in the future you find yourselves be excited to participate again in the forking.

Well that can't be help if you are just a newbie here in the cryptocurrency world  Grin Grin
You can't do anything about it, it was already on to someone's wallet and I bet he will never give it back because that was easy money. All you have to do is to move on and never do the same mistake again, I guess.

The ‍scammers  are waiting to steal your money ‍around you. You should know that they are very intelligent but dishonest. You must be more and more conscious about them. Never loses your again by such a foolish work.

I deserve that I guess. I'm well aware of the mistake I made (I'm sure the OP is too). I'll definitely be more careful going forward - kicking myself still at the moment.

Identity is protected by WHOIS GUARD. Contact them with details of this thread and see if they will give up the data, its probably false, but if it is why would they have used it.

Might be worth due to the size of the hack that multiple people email law enforcement agencies about this, with $1 million stolen its no small heist, lets end this crap.

Good idea, I'll see what I can do with them. And thanks for the sympathy... Sucks but then again it's not a ton of cash. Luckily I only had a small portion of my funds in that wallet.

Also good tip above about sending to a new wallet before a fork, I'll keep that in mind.

I'm sorry for your loss.
Next time before claiming your forked coins, transfer your BTC to a new wallet.
Then in case of a corrupt wallet, your BTC won't be gone.
