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.
