Boutique Owner Arrested 14 Times for Alleged Scams
20 Mar
Summary
- Owner arrested 14 times this year for alleged customer fraud.
- At least 50 people in Anderson County alone may be victims.
- State Attorney General's office is reviewing the ongoing case.
Pamela Brooke Schronce, owner of a baby boutique in Pendleton, South Carolina, has been arrested for the 14th time this year on charges of defrauding customers. The arrests stem from allegations that customers placed orders but never received the products and were denied refunds.
These charges have been filed across multiple jurisdictions, with the Anderson County Sheriff's Office reporting over 50 potential victims in that area. Schronce's boutique stopped accepting online orders on March 3, according to its website. Local prosecutors have requested the attorney general's office to take over the case, which is currently under review.
Schronce's attorney stated that her client anticipates her day in court and is awaiting discovery from law enforcement. Investigations by various agencies are ongoing, and additional victims are encouraged to report unfulfilled orders.
