I am sure that there are many instances of this.

A JY was the same on Wednesday on the 18 mHz band

Last week there was a  Jamaican station  calling CQ around 21.023 (where 
K1N had previously been).    Someone wrongly spotted him as K1N, and 
the stampede was on.   The pile up was huge.   Even if he sent his call 
  frequently, there were always more showing up based on the faulty 
spot.  I don't think he knew what hit him.
