28 岁的英国游戏玩家罗伯特·沃克·麦克戴德 (Robert Walker-McDaid) 于 2015 年向恐怖分子热线拨打了有关其对手泰兰·多布斯 (Tyran Dobbs) 的恶意电话，但幸免于牢狱之灾。 28-year-old British gamer Robert Walker-McDaid avoided jail time for making a hoax call to a terrorist hotline about his rival, Tyran Dobbs, in 2015. 这一电话促使美国特警出动，结果多布斯脸部和胸部被枪击中。 The call prompted a US SWAT team to be dispatched, resulting in Dobbs being shot in the face and chest. 沃克-麦克戴德是英国首位因“恶意诈骗”而受到指控的个人，他在承认一项妨碍司法公正的罪名后，被沃里克刑事法庭判处 20 个月缓刑。 Walker-McDaid, the first UK individual charged with "swatting," was handed a 20-month suspended sentence at Warwick Crown Court after pleading guilty to one count of perverting the course of justice.
