I've sent plenty of reports about cheating in my time, to still see the same people running around anyways, and the same cheating happening. I'd suggest sending in a report, but it's clear to me they don't police their own game
I have known personally of players that were banned for cheating and had to start over, as well as some that had temp bans and returned after their ban expired. ZOS has at least made an attempt to crack down on cheaters in the past, so I'm going to assume it still happens.
What is much more common though, is for people to take revenge on a player that beat them and to report them for cheating, only for nothing to happen, probably because ZOS didn't see any evidence of it. Then the reporting player goes in zone chat or the forums and cries that "ZOS does nothing against cheaters".
We can be sure that some players do cheat because there will always be people that want to cheat if it's possible, and it's probably not possible to make any game immune to cheats. I'd bet money that the the number of players that cheat is far outweighed by the number of players that get reported for cheating, though.
