You should request what information the UK Home Office holds on you, which will give you an indication as to whether the application you talk about was real or indeed a scam.
You can do this by submitting a "Subject Access Request", of which there are a few types depending on how much data you want.
The UK Government website has a good page on this: Request personal information held in the borders, immigration and citizenship system
