I am slightly confused. You never have the "right" to assume WHO pays 
you what, just that you got paid. It's only the customer paying you if 
they gave you a personal or business check. If they sent you an "order", 
a "cashiers' check", or "bank check" etc. then technically it was 
somebody else actually paying. How is it so terribly different in this 
case that they arranged between themselves instead of say one of them 
arranging for a bank to pay you (with a "cashier's check")?

However -- I suggested needing "suspense" in this case because I thought 
you received an EXTRA amount. Just don't know to whom should be returned.
