Whenever you suspect someone of cheating, that SourceMod Anti-Cheat doesn't pick up, there are a couple of things you need to question yourself about.
Before you do, however, report the player first and record a demo.
How do you record a demo? Check the video below:
Then just go on Spectate and press SPACE until you are spectating in First Person.
I will also put a rating system on how hard it is to spot a specific feature. If one of the bullet points below is rated [HARD], then you may want to pay a little bit more attention before making judgement on whether the person is cheating or not.
Here are the ratings below:
[Painfully Obvious]
[Easy]
[Average]
[Challenging]
[Hard]

Aimbot:
- Is the player shooting at invisible spies? [Painfully Obvious]
- Did the player kill someone without even looking at them? (Silent Aim) [Painfully Obvious] (Always check their ping before you call them out! The person just may have high ping!)
- Does the player focus on one specific spot that may seem odd? (Wallhacks) [Easy]
- Are the player's projectiles hitting players that are not where the player was aiming? [Average]
- Is the player just randomly looking through walls? [Average]
- Is the player's aim just randomly snapping all over the place? [Painfully Obvious]
- (Ambassador and Sniper Rifles Only) Is the player's aim timing perfect, such as knowing exactly when the cooldown time for the ambassador/sniper rifle is ready to headshot? [Challenging]
- Is the player getting many "random" crits in a short amount of time? Example: 7 in 30 seconds. (Keep in mind that just because someone got 2 random crits in a row doesn't mean he is hacking. But watch them a little more closely.) [Average]
- Is the player's aim very smooth when out of combat, but becomes very snappy and jittery within combat? [Easy]
- (Spy Only) Is the player's knife animation, when attempting to backstab, raises but then returns to a normal knife stab animation? Or is the player constantly doing a normal stab right before reaching someone's back? (Double Animation) [Easy]
- Are the bunny hops perfect? (The second the player touches the ground, he jumps?) [Easy]
- (Pyro Only) Is the player randomly reflecting projectiles from walls? Or is the player perfectly reflecting Huntsman Arrows [Painfully Obvious], Hard to predict rockets and Pipe Bombs, etc? [Average]
- Does the person's aim keep flicking over heads/bodies without taking a shot, before flicking back constantly to try and get a shot? [Hard]
- Is the player floating in the air with very low ping? (Mainly used in Deathrun to skip pulling traps) [Painfully Obvious]
- When looking for an aimbot, pay attention to the person's view within combat and out of combat.
- When looking for a wallhack, try to imagine: "Would I look there in normal gameplay?"
- When suspecting someone is cheating, change your class to a Spy and equip The Cloak and Dagger. Cloak in a corner where the cheater is going to pass by. If he locks onto you, he's cheating. Do this one more time.
- If the cheater is smart enough to ignore the third tip, spectate them. Is their view moving in a very unusual way? Or are they using a Spin Bot and spinning in circles? If they are getting kills by doing so, they're cheating.
