Brand new iPhone XR keeps asking me to sign into apple IDs that I don't recognize!

I just setup my new phone last night. I restored it from my previous phone so all my photos, music, apps, etc are on it. So it asked me to log into my apple ID and then asked me to log into 4 different apple IDs. One of them looks vaguely familiar but the other 3 I do not recognize at all (did other people steal my apple ID and make purchases under it?!).

I just cancelled the login requests at setup but now all morning I've been bombarded with numerous requests from my phone to enter the password for those apple IDs. How do I clear those IDs that are not associated with me? Has anyone had this issue and know how to solve it? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks so much! : )

iPhone XR, iOS 12

That usually means you downloaded an app with those apple id and in order for it to redownload you need to re-enter the credentials.
