[Tokyo, Shinjuku] SCAMMED outside tokyo hentai club (Help)

Yes, I know, I'm a freaking idiot. I got scammed out of 130,000 yen. Had to make a throwaway account to avoid the embarrassment.

Yesterday was my last night in japan, so I thought I go have some fun. I walked towards Tokyo hentai club in Shinjuku for the first time and was approach by a guy just as I was about to go in, he told me that the shop is currently full and told me to follow him, being drunk at the time I did. He proceeded to bring me to another guy who happens to speak perfect Chinese, the showed me pictures of girls on their phones for me to choose, and also the course. I pick a girl and an hour course for 30,000 yen which they told me to pay, immediately. after which, they mention that there is a 50,000 yen security deposit which would be returned to me after the session. this should have been strike one but apparently drunk me thinks with his penis so I paid the man. After which they brought me to hotel to ANOTHER guy who also spoke great Chinese, they told me the girl is preparing now and told me to wait. They left me alone in the lobby for a good 15min, I should have left then but I didn't, they came back and told me that there's an addition security deposit for the room for another 50,000 yen, which again, like the idiot I was, paid.

He then ask to see my passport to confirm my age, I showed it to him and I'm not too certain, but it felt like he took a photo of it.

Finally They then brought 2 more tourist to the hotel lobby who was also paying them with this "security deposit", after which they proceeded to tell us to go up the elevator, and told us to wait at respectively at the top 3 floors of the hotel where the girls will come out and lead us to the rooms. I arrived at the top and waited around 10min before sudden realizing I have read this EXACT scam online a couple years back, quickly I went down to see the other two other tourist to tell them we've been scammed. But it was too late, the dudes were long gone.

The first tourist was a chinese guy like me, got scammed out of 140,000 yen, and the other was a korean dude who lost like 350,000 yen

I arrived back home today, I don't even cared about the money I got scammed out of but I have extremely worried feeling about the passport. I'm not too sure if they took a picture or not, but assuming they did, what would they be able to do with it? is there anything I should do?

TL;DR: Got scammed out of 130,000 yen because I trusted my dick over my brain, passport photo might have been taken, worried what they can do with that.

Bros, this is one of the oldest scams in the book, yet idiots like me might not remember or know of this, so this post is both for me to ask for advice and to spread awareness. DON'T TRUST SCOUTS
