Never one to let another person get over on him, Buffalo Bills defensive end IK Enemkpali was reportedly catfished four years ago in a strange story involving extortion and a bearded man "covered head-to-toe in a blanket," according to ESPN's Outside the Lines.

In a 2011 report obtained by OTL, Enemkpali was messaging a woman named "Missy Lee" (super creative, amirite?) on Facebook. Eventually, their conversations turned sexual when Missy "offered to perform oral sex on Enemkpali if he would come over to her house." IK, being a typical guy, followed through on the offer. But when he arrived at her residence, he was in for a very strange surprise.  

The report states Enemkpali entered through a side door only to find someone "covered head-to-toe in a blanket." The person also refused to remove the blanket. IK eventually left after feeling unsure about the situation. However, when he was outside, Enemkpali received a phone call from Missy, asking him to return to the house. IK, being a typical guy, returned to the residence.  

Back inside the house, the same unknown individual once again refused to remove the blanket and didn't want the lights to be turned on. According to the report, a cell phone rang during their interaction and "the screen lit up the room enough to see that the person under the blanket had facial hair." Around that time, another person entered the room. Suspecting that he was going to become the victim of a robbery, Enemkpali went into defense mode, striking the blanket-covered individual and fleeing the house through a window. 

Enemkpali told police he started receiving threatening texts in which "Missy Lee" accused him of punching her and knocking out her teeth. "U are going to jail," read one of the texts. He offered $500, but "Missy Lee" demanded $1,000 or the police would be called. "He [Enemkpali] would be 'finished' if that happened." The texts were followed by phone calls from someone claiming to be "Missy Lee's" father and demanding payment.

Following a police investigation, phone records were traced back to a man named Ketryn Anderson, who admitted to posing as "Missy Lee" on Facebook, as well as Missy's father. Anderson, who lost two front teeth after getting punched by IK "was not attempting to extort money from Enemkpali, only to get him to pay for the damage he had done to his face."
