I've had the same experience, but involving the wrong check in wrong envelope to both a supplier and a utility company. Both checks were cashed. The utility was overpaid and the supplier was underpaid. Fortunately I was able to rectify the situation after I discovered the error.
What you may not realize is that nowadays checks are all processed by automated systems. No human reviews whether a check is made out to the correct business or not.
