It won’t “solve” the problem, but you can always register for a free account at 
https://hamalert.org <https://hamalert.org/> and set up a trigger for your own 
callsign.  Then you will receive an email or a text message when your call is 
spotted on the bands.

It doesn’t solve the problem but at least you will know when a pirate is using 
your call; you can then post messages or alerts on various sites saying that 
the rogue operation is fake.
