A) What do I do about it ... who do I call?

B) How do I make sure it doesn't happen again (there are only 2 or 3 people that have my number).
It is very easy to use someone else’s number. I have a dozen names in my drop down list that I have no idea who they are. I believe it is a group I played with at one time and I might have modified the request thus adding them my pick list. I clean it out every so often. Could have been an accident or as you said, they needed someone with zero points to make a tee time in this season of snowbirds.

It is most likely someone in the reservation, just tell them to please not do it again or you will report them. They will get a slap on the wrist as a first time offender. Me, I would just delete my name from the reservation.
