n Two Orangeburg residents reported on Tuesday that their credit has been messed up by other people, according to OCSO incident reports.
The first, a 21-year-old, presented deputies with a copy of her credit report. She said there were charges from M&I and Verizon that she didn’t make.
A 24-year-old then presented her credit report which also showed unauthorized charges. She called the companies that reported the charges, which asked if she lives in California. She took that to mean the charges were made in California.
