The version I have is 3.3.8. I followed the link in the app when I opened it and it said update available. My wallet has all my previous transactions listed so I don't understand how it would be a fake

Which link? And which version you had before updating it through that link?

If you didn't download from ELECTRUM.ORG, then you downloaded a fake Electrum. Can you check your browser history (along with the download history) to see which link you used? And how did the update message look like?

That's the bad thing you did if you update the wallet from the link popup on Electrum older than 3.3.4.

Like the above said if you get the update on the right URL which is electrum org you don't need to be worry but there are still some fake websites look the same as electrum.org URL with little difference.

You have to confirm if what is the old version you use before you update it to the latest version?

I've deleted my browsing history since then and I'm not sure what version I had previous as I don't use it much. Looking at the info in the dmg file that I downloaded though it shows that it was downloaded from "https://download.electrum.org/3.3.8/electrum-3.3.8.dmg, https://electrum.org/"
