Is there some way they can fine me with me being in a country completely and totally unrelated to the EU?

Yes, they can fine you, and if you don't pay it they can trash your credit. Don't ignore this.
How? I'm not in their country, their laws don't apply to me or my business in any way, shape or form. They could perhaps argue I do business there, but that still doesn't give them anything to press charges against. Best they could do is block my site as far as I can guess...
I'm going to call bullshit unless you can provide a source that any overseas government can levy a fine for whatever reason and then "trash my credit".
