Might’ve been scammed

someone sent me a message on Facebook saying my page was going to be shut down. I was in a rush and filled in a form which I now believe to be a scam. I luckily gave them the wrong information but there was a form at the top which read:

Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 16_5_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile/20F75

[FBAN/FBIOS;FBDV/iPhone11,8;FBMD/iPhone;FBSN/iOS;FBSV/16.5.1;FBSS/2;FBID/phone;FBLC/en_Qaau_GB;FBOP/5]

and I pressed log in, which was likely also a disguised link. Does anyone have any recommendations or know what the code above does?

it was almost certainly a scammer as I later realised the links on the page didn’t work.

I also sent them a pic of my license but there’s not much I can do about this now

any advice? Should I reset my phone, call support?

I am not recognizing everything in the bit you posted but to me it appears to be standard information about your browser software version and hardware that you are using that, frankly, most web sites might ask for. I am guessing they use it to know what type of web page to send you and if your browser can handle that.
