Something got downloaded on my phone and then dissappeared

I was on a website offering some free top-up stuff. It was a bit shady and they claimed to give free top-ups for a particular platform if you downloaded an app. As I proceeded, they showed an app that seemed genuine and was supposed to be downloaded from the Play Store. But when I clicked it, a download icon appeared in my notification bar, and before I could check what it was, it disappeared. I even checked my download section and nothing was downloaded there.

Also I was using brave browser.

What should I do now? Kindly help
