Was the refund direct deposited?

If you received a paper check, it might be a scam. Call the CA tax bureau and ask them. An amount that high sounds wrong.

is this the amount you were supposed to get?   if yes, take it to your bank and ask if it can be deposited without legal amount printed.  if not do as SweetieJean suggests.  .
