Is "hoobuy spreadsheet" the same thing as HipoBuy?
They refer to the same purchasing route, and the shorter spelling is the one most search boxes suggest. The naming difference is not a signal about which site you are on.
The evidence
The two spellings coexist because the shorter form is easier to type and because search suggestion surfaces the shorter form first. In our keyword sampling the shorter variants were recalled more often than the longer ones across a set of query prefixes, which is consistent with that rather than with two separate products.
What this means practically is that a page or list using the shorter spelling is not automatically an imitation. The useful checks are about content rather than about spelling: does the page date its work, does it explain its method, and can you resolve the addresses it publishes. A correctly spelled page that does none of those is less useful than a misspelled one that does all three.
The naming does create one real problem, which is disambiguation in search. Two genuinely different parties using near-identical names would be indistinguishable from the outside. We have not found evidence of that in this category, but the check that would reveal it is the account and payment details rather than the spelling, because payment details cannot be approximated.
When this does not apply
Where a page uses a near-identical spelling and routes payments to an account you cannot identify, stop there. The spelling is not the signal; the payment destination is.
