Contact card corruption

I have searched all over the web for a solution to this. I sync my contacts across Mac, iPhone and iPads. Beginning about a month ago I noticed contacts I have entered are appending a string of characters after phone numbers. I usually find this has happened by asking Siri to call someone and she doesn't have a number for them since it looks something like this: 4105551212X-image-randomstringoftext.

I did find a similar problem through a search, which seemed to point at corruption through a connection to outlook.com contacts. I removed syncing from my MS account AND removed outlook app on all devices along with the passwords to connect inside iCloud. I reduced everything on all devices to only iCloud this morning, removing my employer office365 contact syncing too.

I recently moved from Windows due to contact syncing problems with Android/Windows. I simply can't have this going on and don't want to move back to Windows ever. This is my only problem with the Apple ecosystem so far and otherwise I love it.

This morning, another contact which I had recently added a photo to became corrupted but this time the string was added in the address field and not the phone number. Here's a screen grab. This only appears to be happening with contacts that I add photos to.

This was added in the "country" box:

Any ideas on how to fix this? Keep in mind I'm still a Windows/Office guy of 22+ years with extreme comfort looking under the hood of Windows...Mac, not so much at all.

Thanks
