Why does lichess blame me for this?

I just got this message from lichess: " In your game history, you have several games where the opponent clearly has intentionally lost against you. Attempts to artificially manipulate your own or someone else's rating are unacceptable.

If this behaviour continues to happen, your account will be restricted."

I'm a beginner, 2 months in, a rating of 1030. I guess they are saying I have people helping me artificially raise my rating? I have no idea why I would want to do that. After all if I do that I will face harder and harder opponents, I won't have the skill to beat them and not have much fun.

Could it be people trying to lower their rating? I have no idea why they would want to do that either.
Do not worry, if you play cleanly to Lichess Rules you wont get banned! Don't worry- and play all your games fairly
Samanyay do you work for microsoft support? Should I install team viewer so you can remove the virus? Can I pay with Amazon gift cards?
Hello thank you for calling Microsoft Tech support. How can I help you?

"You see, the problem is"

No sorry I cannot help you

(Hangs up call.)
@WolfWeb , no ! There is no virus or anything . Just follow all the lichess norms , just don't worry abt that warning . It's just an indication that few opponents just lost on purpose against u . U can report then as soon as they so it next time
this is serious,
try to find out the imposter
@Samanyay horribly misinformed post of yours.

@WolfWeb this warning is handed out on a literally inflationary basis. There have been many complaints about this already. Mods vouch that as long as your behavior is normal, you won't be banned. (It's their decision to ban anyway. @lichess is an automated bot account)
