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.
