I love correspondence games! I cannot cope with the anxiety of short time controls, and the satisfaction for me is always thinking deeply and feeling like I’ve made the best move I’m capable of. That said unless you’re only playing people you trust, it’s hard to dodge cheaters, even with Lichess’s cheat detection.

Before playing an opponent in correspondence check his profile. Never play against new accounts (e.g. join date in profile < 3 months). Don't play someone who never lose games (e.g. 80 wins, 20 draws, 0 losses is suspicious unless it's Magnus). Don't play someone who only has very few games played in total. Compare the other statistics if he has a beginner level blitz rating of 1600 and rapid rating of 1700, but correspondence is GM like level of 2500+ then this is also suspicious.
