I was a supply teacher. A kid did something similar in early 2010s and he was doing online homeworks for his classmates for about $1 per month. He had about a hundred clients at the peak and he was never caught.

Overall, those who cheat are lazy by nature, and therefore easy to catch.

I teach art and design. Now is grading season and it is maddeningly easy to catch students who plagiarize. Like shooting fish in a barrel.

The contract cheating is another thing. At one of my previous places of employment, companies contacted students directly on their university mail and approach them offering 'educational services'. Some of them even knew what courses the students were taking.

And professors complain about not being able to get data to check on enrollment trends for their departments!
