Hello ARic2083,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

If we understand your post correctly, an unknown mobile number has been linked to your Apple ID and you want to know how to unlink it. We're happy to help!


Changing your password is a good first step. Have a look at this article and follow the steps: If you think your Apple ID has been compromised


We also suggest doing two things. Turning two-factor authentication on and checking your devices that are logged in. 


Here's the links:​

We would also suggest checking to see if this has been a phishing attempt. The article below will help you to identify phishing and scam attempts now and in the future.
