Cheating

There are times when it is pointless playing because of the amount of cheating. Most common is for a player to give away a pawn, or even a piece and then suddenly start to play like a grandmaster  and win.  I guess you don't get caught doing this. Maybe at the higher levels this is unusual but at 1400\1500 it can happen 20 times a day.  I dont know what pleasure anyone can get from this but I guess it goes with the general lack of morality in internet anything. Sad lives getting a kick out of duping other people. Well I guess I am a dupe.  I wish I could just play more good, honest chess games on here. But it's getting rarer and rarer. Is this just paranoia? I don't think so, but how would I know.
