It's not unusual for children to go door-to-door to raise funds for schools in the west Barberton neighborhood that borders Norton.
So when a 10-year-old girl presented pamphlets with pictures of scrumptious sweets for sale to fund her Norton school this month, a 29th Street woman ordered a pumpkin roll and gave the girl $12.
The child dutifully wrote down the woman's name and address, along with her order.
The next day, the woman ? who asked that her name not be used ? received a call from Barberton Police Lt. Brian Jamison.
He had gotten her information from a list of buyers that had been confiscated from the girl's mother. The Barberton woman had been scammed.
She wasn't alone.

The black ski mask wasn't enough.
Norton police say a 21-year-old man tried to use the mask to hide his identity from a former boss during a robbery attempt Thursday outside of a convenience store.
Authorities say the manager, Dale Anderson, confronted the masked man and asked, ''What are you doing, Glenn?''
Police say the surprised robber replied: ''It's not Glenn, Dale.''
Anderson, who manages Circle K at 3899 Eastern Road, told investigators that former employee Glenn N. Messer of Cuyahoga Falls was the man behind the mask.
Messer was arrested later in the day at his mother's home in the Falls by police and members of the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force.
Messer has been charged with a felony count of robbery and was arraigned Thursday in Barberton Municipal Court. His bond was set at $20,000.
Authorities say Messer worked at the Circle K until February.
