Thank you for posting this thread - I'm also a victim and feeling pretty stupid right now. Bitcoin Gold had http://mybtgwallet.com/ listed on their official site as you say, and I too fell for it. I lost 0.08 BTC, and after today's run up I was going to sell it off. $800 CAD down the drain.

Is there anything that can be done to recover funds (I am a noob, but I keep hearing about replay protection - is there any protection from this)?

MyBTGWallet was a scammy wallet, they were not going to give you anything, that is why a lot of people have not received their coins and maybe this is one of the main reasons of why bitcoin gold is so expensive at the moment.
I head about a guy who lost his 150 bitcoins because he gave his private key to that site. They emptied all the wallets because they had access to those private keys.
It is a shame, those are the real consequences of using those shady wallets, maybe that is the reason of why i am so afraid of those forks that are not giving anything to the community.

I saw many fishing websites and emails lately pretending sending links to claim bitcoin gold. Be careful, no wallet send emails like that.

I never clicked on any phishing email in my whole life. Just trusted in BTG dev team, that was the mistake.

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:

You really cannot be careful enough these days. I almost fell for a fake omisego aidropd the other day. Just remember: Never give out your private keys.

Did you give your private key in the website? If yes then you are to be blamed. But a lesson learnt and move on. Never disclose your private key to anyone.

And what do you mean by "I guess I told them the see"?

Never reveal your private key in new wallet, always check for reputable wallet. And before entering private key in the Bitcoin Gold wallet, you should send your BTC to another wallet first. It is better to discard the wallet which private key has been disclosed.

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

Yep.  There was a couple of other threads on this topic a little while ago as well.

Since BTG appears to be a very poorly prepared fork (which arguably is malicious itself), they list pretty much whatever they can find.  There aren't a lot of legitimate services that are willing to implement their coin into their wallet.

Sorry for your loss.  At least you didn't lose a fortune.
