Hello Paperaer0plane,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Based on your post, you have some random unknown contacts showing up in your Hotmail account. We'll do our best to assist.


It sounds like you may need to partner with Hotmail support to see what's happening here, however, we'd check if you have contacts enabled for other accounts before you do this.


Go to Settings > Contacts > Accounts > you'll see the accounts listed here. It will provide you a brief explanation of what's currently syncing under the account type. If Contacts is enabled under other accounts, then it's syncing those Contacts, as well. Select the account you no longer wish to sync to and from, then tap next to Contacts to disable them.


If that doesn't sort it out, then it might be best to contact Hotmail support for further steps: Contact Us - Microsoft Support


Hoping that helps out, take care!
