Narrative:
We received and acknowledged a descent clearance from 5000 to 3000. We included call sign in readback. Several mins later we were told to maintain 3000 and that we had taken someone else's clearance. We were the second airplane in less than 5 mins to be advised that we had taken someone else's clearance.
