Claiming Renewed Passports Overseas

I renewed my passport in Dammam, KSA last December 2012 and I gave a pound-for-pound account of how it is being conducted by the Philippine Embassy of Riyadh through their Embassy-on-Wheels program.

The message usually appears as if it is coming from a cybercriminal enforcement agency as a warning that you have transmitted illegal or inappropriate information. There will also be a message telling you that your computer will remain encrypted and locked until you agree that you pay a certain reactivation fee or “ransom” so you can access your computer again.
