I check every posted link for websites and it seems that all of them are now down.For most of them I only get blank page with any info,some give info that server is down.There is also many fake Electrum sites in the past months,all are used Google adds to show at the top of search results.Some news say that the damage is around 50$ million,but it is probably even bigger.
It is easy to trick users these days,newbies are fall into traps in an incredible numbers,but even more experienced users make beginners mistakes.

Thanks for the info. Although all the websites were running from the same DNS, and likely all on the same server, I don't think they were taking down. It's more likely the scammer temporarily turned them off.
I do know that many of the reddit accounts were banned, but it now appears many of the new ones simply deleted or had the posts deleted.
Example:
https://www.reddit.com/user/louisprs - no posts.
https://www.reddit.com/user/kipp1vel - banned or deleted.
https://www.reddit.com/user/karenmatro - still has a post for the scam.

I was asked to copy here so more people are able to find it instead of specifically in a BTG thread.
Several of the reddit accounts were deleted as I was updated the list, so those were not posted here.
