Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

There is an unknown person who has added me to their family shared purchases. I cannot change my payment method now, how do I remove myself from family sharing and report this security issue?

Apple support is very familiar with this situation. US customers call 1-800-275-2273

Apple picked up on the first ring and walked me through the remedy. A senior customer support person will have to manually disconnect the user from the "mystery family." They'll want you to reset your password and enable two factor authentication. This is a very easy fix. Allow yourself 15 minutes to complete the call with Apple.
