A Columbia County woman's identity was used recently to make purchases she says didn't know about, until they were delivered.

The Columbia County Sheriff's Office says the a package was delivered to the woman's house at an undisclosed location.  A FedEx driver dropped the package off and left it near the front door.

Security camera footage shows a person driving a silver Mercedes appear on her property about 15 minutes.  The driver, dressed in a FedEx uniform, drove the car onto woman's grass and retrieved the package.

"The victim said she later found out that someone used her identity to purchase iPhones through Xfinity, and they were delivered to her home," according to information from the Columbia County Sheriff's Office.

Authorities need help identifying the person seen in the security footage.
