They're a decent scammer to be honest, they didn't stick to becoming a look alike of the site that they are copying so as to make it look like they're a different website and at the same time make them legitimately looking. Good job catching these really early OP hopefully no one has fallen for this website.

They are not decent at all. If you look closely the site is actually an exact copy of the original site, the only small difference is that; 
1. Some white parts of the webpage have been changes to gray
2. Original sales email has been changed to the scammer's
3. Link to the official store has been changes to the scammer's
4. Bobcatminer.com has been replaced with hotspotminers in terms and conditions and FAQs
