Does 'Deceptive issue site' warning intercepts the information inserted?

Hi, I got scammed by a tax refund scam. I clicked the link from a text message, and opened it on Firefox on the Phone. Inserted sensitive information, including name, phone number address and other usual security questions. When I clicked submit I got the 'Deceptive site issue' which was when I realised I was duped. I attached the screen here.

I want to know now if the information inserted has been intercepted by Fiefox or if it got through, and if there was a way to check this.

Hi

Without having the exact details it is impossible to say (and even then it could be a guess). I would assume that your data could now be at risk.
