Sandbagging

It seems to me that players aren't doing their best. My rating is skyrocketing. Are they sandbagging, and if so why?
If I win against a sandbagger will I lose some ratings after he gets banned ?
@Alihene Yes, people who have been caught sandbagging get a message from lichess which notifies them that they have been banned.
However, players who use computer assistance get banned without the cheater knowing it. The same applies for shadow-marked users.
A question about sandbagging...
Let's say it is your awful chess day. You play horribly and lose , for example , 150 points (or more!)
Is there a danger to be considered sandbagger?
