PITTSBURGH — Yes, you read that right.

A Pittsburgh company that specializes in fake excrement is caught up in a U.S. Postal Service probe.

The Office of Inspector General asked a state court to enforce a subpoena against Poop Senders.

The company lets people anonymously send fake feces as a joke.

Investigators say someone used the company to harass a postal worker in Michigan and they want to get to the bottom of it.
