Asking for a friend (honest).

Over the last couple of months she has received four small parcels in the post at her home address. Various names and from different parts of the country.. Inside each is folded up cardboard. She has found the word 'marketplace' on one of them. She is very concerned. She does not use ebay.

What is the scam likely to be ?

I'd guess this is the one where they send out an "item", have proof it was delivered, so that they can then create a fake review on Amazon.
