Not as far as I know. Any time someone has sent money to the wrong address it has either been they copied the entirely wrong address or they were subjected to clipboard malware, and did not bother to double check before hitting send.
what about someone accidentally typing in the wrong 24 or 12 word seed phrase but it is still valid? what's the chances of that? hopefully that's in the same 1 in 4 billion probability area too. if not then...not good. Angry

Based on checksum length, the chance is 1 in 2^4 for 12 words and 1 in 2^8 for 24 words. If you want 1 in 4 billion chance, the checksum length should be 35-bit which equal 3.1818 4 words.
