What to do if someone reports you for engine use when you didn't?

Hi,

Someone sent me a message saying they reported me for engine use. I don't use engines during games (only afterwards for analysis).

The strange thing is that it wasn't a particularly good game on my part, below average.

Is there a way to contest this?
What is the procedure used by Chess.com to evaluate such reports?

Regards.

Don't worry. A report does nothing in itself. The Fair Play team will take a look and if you aren't using an engine, you have nothing to worry about.

Do they notify people if the are judged to have used an engine?
But as you said, nothing to worry about on my part. Just cheeses me off when people accuse me wrongly.

If they judge an engine was used the account is closed and they send an email to the address associated with the account with the options available
