    Not really sure if you updated it on amazon.com or if you did it through an email telling you to.

    If you clicked a link in the email, you should probably make sure you didn't just go to a fake site and put your debit card info in. If you did, you should probably be putting a freeze on the debit card immediately.

    Don't mean to scare you or anything, but sounds lke you're getting phishing emails, so just make sure that the one telling you to change your expiration date was legit.

    Be especially careful with debit cards - as that's your money, the money you need to pay bills 'n shit....

    Thanks- no, that email said the same thing, a hold had been put on my account and I had 24 hrs. to address it- Firefox wouldn't open the PDF, said it was unverified, so I closed that and signed into Amazon and checked my account from there and updated the expiration, not from the email PDF link. Today though, I did open the link in the PDF but it took me to a page where it wanted all my info and I closed that and then did a search on the weird email addy.

    See, you did these two things in the wrong order. Any time you get an even slightly suspicious email, always check where it came from first before clicking any links or opening any PDFs.

    I use Google Remote Desktop if I need to check things on my laptop whilst I'm away from it. Might not be exactly what you're looking for but essentially you leave your home machine running and access it remotely via an app on iphone/ipad/other computer.
