You are jumping to conclusions for all the wrong reasons. The networks that you see were placed there by the service provider that you were using at the time and may still be using at this time.

You cannot remove them unless you contact the provider and ask them to remove them. Even then, there will be no guarantees that they will be removed.

There are absolutely no security issues here. Your iPhone is just fine.

So, take a deep breath. Everything is OK.

Post a screen shot of what you are seeing. Don't forget to remove the Caps Lock. A wall of capital letters makes for difficult reading and many won't even bother to read it.

The Wifi radio in your phone will show ANY and ALL networks it sees at the time you open Settings > Wifi. The reason you can't remove them is because you're not connected to them. They are just within range of your phone to see them. It has been this way forever on any cell phone, tablet or computer. So your assertion these networks are on your phone is not correct. Ignore them, like everyone else does.

And typing in all CAPS makes it very difficult to read and is considered shouting in internet speak.
