I just received an "official observer advisory notice" for broadcasting out of band. I know I haven't because I only have my uv-5r. I hope this was a one time incident but what can I do if someone is using my call sign?

Wow, actual FCC enforcement!? Amazing.
No it isn't.
An "OO" is not an employee of the FCC.
Hams for the most part are self policing, an OO is like a hall monitor, but he can recommend to the FCC that action be taken against a Ham if violations persist.
This is why I am concerned. I do think he may have misheard the call sign though. Maybe I should use this as motivation to study more and get more privileges.

It says "Technician class does not have privileges beyond 28.500" and was checked frequency was 25.510 and out of band was checked

It's one of those things that's hard to prove or disprove. I didn't know "OOs" even existed anymore.
