In May for fair play violations? Cheating on Chess.com is VERY REAL. If you disagree, then you also have cheated.
I cannot disagree with the numbers. However, there are far more genuine players than cheaters. All we can do is trust that chess.com is doing all that it can. Also, losing to a cheater can be very instructive (though not fun).

The perception of cheating levels is orders of magnitude more than the actual amount. The vast majority of games and players are clean.
