Swatting is where they get your address (which I assume you have given them so they can ship the games to you,that was likely a lie btw,they probably just wanted your address so they can blackmail you) and call the police pretending to be you. They will say something along the lines of that you have a bomb or you have a gun and killed everyone in your family. Then the swat team will come out kicking down your door and scaring the living **** out of you. You might want to talk to the local police force about it.

you don't send any money
swating is calling the cops and saying something like bobby said he was going to kill people
the cops send a swat team to your house looking for a killer
some A hole gamers started doing this when they get beat in a game
what you should do is report this to the cops and PayPal and also to the site you tried to buy the game from
telling you to pay or else is blackmail
