I think it is. but you have to ask the question in the cheating forum.

I just played a couple of games against someone who was rated in hte 900s. I lost the first game and felt he played pretty well but figured I would challenge him again.
He then said in the chat that he was on a friends account and he was actually a 1500 player. (my blitz rating hovers around 1300)
I thought oh great, that sucks why didn't he play non rated games instead?
I'm not saying he cheated. I wonder if this is considered cheating under the rules of chess.com and whether it should be considered cheating.
