This is crazy, sorry for your lost but your bitcoins are on the scammer's hands now, serve this as a big mistake and a lesson for you. The amount transacted was +1 BTC. And thanks for the warnng.
But one question why you want to get your BTG while most exchanges dont support this coin? This coin is just a trash IMO.

The tired mind does crazy things Embarrassed  I was fooled because it though the link was from official @bitcoingold and i didn't take the time to look properly at the twitter account. Answer to BTG i was just curious and wanted the BTG to sell back-into more BTC! I made good profits from the BCash fork so was keen to get hold of them to sell them.
I know you should never enter your SEED or Privatekey into any web page. But i Did  Cry I'm usually careful but my mind was weak. I will need to start again but i will treat this as a lesson and a challenge to overcome. Time to start again BTC forever!!

Mark it on your head so it will not happen again, and always do make a research first from 3-5 websites on google.

I tried to research the people behind this site but it seems the site is protected by whoisguard so it's useless.

There's no way to get it back, the bitcoins are now on scammers hands now, just wish him good luck karma is always there.

Scammers are everywhere and they are using the legitimate project to steal funds from other people.
I always take care of my private keys and seed. I never reveal it to anyone. Sorry for your loss OP and thank you for giving a warning to us.

I am really sorry for you loss. It's a lot of money for sure. I got hacked 2 times in my life, both fault was my weak password. Since then I use now 16 - 49 long. My advise for future, try split and never keep your crypto under one account or wallet. It's so easy to click on link banner and download some piece of software that can steal your password/keys.
I have 5 wallets (online) - wallets that at least once I check their balance on Internet and 5 offline (never open them on online PC)
Try use VeraCrypt, that will encrypt your and keep safe your data. Best option is have 2 VeraCrypt containers:
1. For Private Keys
2. For Wallet address
With VeraCrypt you can easy mount file on your PC that will act just like another partition/harddrive. When you create container - in will be in Windows explorer but if you restart it wil automatically dismount.

I hope Karma will get this guy who stole from you.

This are the result of being careless, if you have gone through this forum fully then you could have got information that this bitcoin gold is failure and still their is no wallet to support the btc to btg swap. so who ever is believing this hardfork and thinking of gaining the free coins then it is foolishness.

I think this is a lesson learned the hard way and that is expensive paid.If you only use common sense and think about what you are doing something like this would never happened.Bitcoin Gold is just one more altcoin and only thing what is connects to BTC is name,it would be better to not even try to claim that coin because many will just lost their BTC and thieves will happily rubbing hands.Now you can just watch how your "friend" move coins from one address to
another,he take your BTC and he will get your bitcoin gold.

We had been talking about claiming your BTG in Mycelium section. Summarization: As long as you control your private keys then your BTG is always there. You can import it to a wallet that supports BTG like Coinomi but make sure to send all your bitcoin funds to a new wallet before importing it for security reasons which I actually did when I claimed my BCH.

I'll never gonna say anything more like what others said.

Sorry for your loss.  I hope this can at least help prevent you or other people from getting scammed in the future.  The crypto world is like the wild west right now, you need to be very careful with your private information.

Keep your private keys safe!

Thanks, well that's some good news anyway. Unfortunately i don't have any Bitcoins anymore the lot have been stolen by this scam! But i still have some crypto assets in Alt's that i hold.
Ill be ready to get my BTG when the official launch happens.
Such a shame i lost it all.  Cry I invested in the early days of 2014 (early believer) i invested £175 to get 0.35 BTC made some good trades in the market turned my 0.35 into 1BTC plus change!
Lately i reinvested £1000 @ £3250 to get my Balance to just short of 1.3 BTC now its all gone! Damn  Roll Eyes
