A woman accused of repeatedly scamming customers who purchased products from her South Carolina boutique was taken into custody yet again following a series of prior arrests, Us Weekly has confirmed.
Pamela Brooke Schronce, who owns Thomas & Turner boutique in Belton, has been arrested 11 times since the beginning of 2026, according to authorities, WHNS reported.
Shronce, 30, was most recently arrested on February 23, when she was booked at the Cherokee County Detention Center on a charge of obtaining a signature or property under false pretenses valued at under $2,000, according to jail records viewed by Us.
Her latest arrest stems from a report made by a victim on December 10, 2025, Cherokee County Sheriff Steve Mueller confirmed to Us via email on Wednesday, February 25.
The person shared that they bought $360 worth of products from Schronce’s boutique’s website, but they never received the items, according to Mueller.
“The victim just like all the others tried repeatedly to get an answer from [the] suspect but eventually was blocked and they would not respond,” Mueller said.
The sheriff added that “investigators were able to secure an arrest warrant on February 17, 2026, and we waited in line with all the other agencies to get her booked in at the Cherokee County Detention Center.”
Information on Schronce’s legal representation was not immediately listed in court records. It is unclear whether she entered a plea.
Us reached out to the Thomas & Turner boutique for comment on February 25 and did not receive an immediate response.
An Instagram page for Schronce’s business describes her store as a “boutique for trendy little babies” that offers “custom designed pieces” that are “affordable & adorable.”
The boutique’s online website says that Schronce’s business is not “currently accepting orders” as of February 25.
In Cherokee County, she is due back in court for a bench trial, which has been set for March 4, according to court records.
Since January 1, Schronce has been arrested in eight South Carolina counties, WIS reported.
She stands accused of failing to send items ordered by multiple customers and allegedly has not provided refunds to others, according to the TV station.
One of her arrests occurred earlier in February in Abbeville County, where the Abbeville County Sheriff’s Office said nine of Schronce’s customers reported that she had allegedly scammed them out of products they purchased or sought refunds for, WYFF News 4 reported.
The customers told investigators that they had bought items from Schronce’s boutique between July 2024 and December 2025, according to the TV station.
A woman named Hannah Mason previously spoke with the TV station and said she was one of the customers allegedly scammed by Schronce in Anderson County.
“I asked her multiple times. ‘Brooke, just give me my money. Just give me my money. You won’t hear from me again,’” Mason told WYFF News 4.
Mason said she had bought items from Schronce’s boutique since 2023 and that initially had not experienced issues with receiving her products.
However, she never received items she ordered in May and June of 2025, the TV station reported.
“I feel like those of us who have been wrongly taken advantage of are finally seeing some sort of justice come to fruition,” Mason added.
