Fraudulent member added to my family account

I have someone (nobody I know) who added himself to my family account. I tried to remove them from my Iphone, even tried changing from a family to individual account, reset my phone and NOTHING works.


Why is it so complicated to remove someone as a member form my family sharing account?

Wondering if you are the organiser who set up the family sharing account ...

If you haven't seen this article already:

You may want to scroll to "Removing family members" in Apple Support's online article:

says: "The organiser of a Family Sharing group can remove other members".

Manage Family Sharing settings - Apple Support


“Note: The organiser can’t remove themselves from the Family Sharing group. If you want to change the organiser, you must disband the group and have another adult create a new one”.

Else:

If needed: You may want to try using "Safety Check" ... Apple Support's Video explains how:
