Thanks! I'll check out that issue.
The customer was using 3.3.3.
He received a message in-app to update to 3.3.4 due to a vulnerability after trying to send a transaction.
clicked on the in-app link that was in the pop-up message.
After the upgrade from the in-app link to 3.3.4 (malicious software), although the funds were now swept, the wallet displayed as if the funds were still there and gave a message stating "Too high fee".

this describe my situation best ...!!!
What you have described IS the phising attack... Despite the "upgrade" link showing up in Electrum, it was a "fake" message from the thief, pointing to a fake version of Electrum that was NOT hosted on electrum.org. So, you have indeed installed a fake version of Electrum which has sent all your funds to the thief.

Unfortunately, those funds are not recoverable. Undecided
