At bullet, some people as either white or black do a cheap trick I'm calling the "fools' trap." When you open up a diagnol for your queen, they immediately blunder their bishop at a spot so it's attacking your queen. Those poor people who move too fast gets their queen snared, but if they notice, they'll take the bishop with their queen. That happens most of the time, but this is the part that sore losers take part in: they immediately RESIGN. Sadly, they get away scot-free on rating because mostly when doing the fools' trap, it takes around 3 moves or less (<3 moves played would not result in rating change). I had experience with this before when some people did it to me.
The first time someone did it, they actually took my queen
The second time someone did it, I took their bishop and he/she resigned
This happened to me frequently. I became curious and tried it once. Believe it or not, I actually beat a couple 2200's using this trap and I quite enjoyed it ! But I stopped because I think it's a very cheap tactic to use.
I use this tactic and it helped me move from 1200 to 1500 on Lichess. I get the queen 30-40% of the time. I don't resign if my bishop gets picked. But then 1 min games are mostly speed games and being down a bishop isn't death at my rating level.
