OCONEE COUNTY, S.C. — Ramon Paez was arrested on multiple forgery charges following an investigation in Oconee County. According to arrest warrants, Paez and the victim initially met in October 2024 to address a blemish on the victim’s credit.
The victim agreed to cosign a single construction loan aimed at building houses for profit. However, the lender, Equity Lending Solutions, later informed the victim that there were eight active loans under their name—far exceeding the original agreement.
The victim stated they were only aware of cosigning one loan, raising concerns about possible forgery and fraud. Authorities are continuing their investigation.
