ANDERSON COUNTY, South Carolina (WLOS) — A South Carolina boutique owner faces a felony charge after law enforcement officials said she scammed more than 50 customers out of thousands of dollars.
After a lengthy investigation, 30-year-old Pamela Brooke Schronce was charged with breach/obtaining property under false pretenses after she allegedly defrauded victims out of more than $10,000, according to the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office. Schronce operates a clothing boutique in Anderson County.
In December, Schronce was arrested in connection with an alleged scam involving the Upstate boutique.
According to the sheriff’s office, detectives linked Schronce to at least 54 victims who placed orders but never received them. Detectives said she “repeatedly provided fabricated excuses to explain the missing deliveries.”
The investigation, which spanned from September 2023 to December 2025, determined a total customer loss of $10,491.53, authorities said.
Schronce also has a prior arrest history for misdemeanor charges in other parts of South Carolina, including Easley, Oconee County, Fairfield County and Spartanburg County.
She was booked into the Anderson County Detention Center.
