The idea Nf5 is nothing special. However even if you find that idea in a blitz game you usually would lose much more time. You have to check whether white has any tactical options on the a1-h8 diagonal or not. You might also think about what happens if white simply retreats his bishop to f2. 3 seconds for that move is pretty fast. It is not a clear evidence of cheating however.
