Yes, many times.
Has anybody ever reported you to the elders?

Yes, for getting a kitten. I kid you not. I had two elders come to my house to ask if I had a kitten because they had 'heard' that cats weren't allowed in my building...

I'm one of those people that gets mistaken frequently for someone else, can be good, can be bad.
I was approached by 2 elders and accused of visiting a df'd person (someone I never heard of even). I asked when this happened. After Elder Pompous told me and assured me the time frame was accurate, I got his wife and asked her where I had been during that time. She said, "with me on a bible study, in fact I took you home and dropped you off." Brother Pompous looked at his wife and me and stormed off leaving Elder Confused to try and smooth it out. It seems Sister Big Gossiper had seen a blonde woman and assumed it had to be me. Don't be surprised that no one apologized.

When I was between 16 and maybe 19 or so, reporting me to the elders was the main passtime of our congregation. When the "cottage industry" was at its peak, I was in an elders meeting literally every Thursday night. And the stupid thing is, it was all over vague complaints and innuendo that had no basis in fact because back then I really wasn't doing anything.
Getting reported is just another method the JW's have of maintaining control through fear. No different from the way the Nazis and East Germans and every other dictatorship throughout history has turned citizens against each other to maintain control.

I got reported by my son. The irony was he was stealing from the congregation contribution boxes yet for some reason felt pure enough to report me to them.
