Random Email showing up in my Personal Contact Page on iPhone

So this is an odd one, at least to me. I happen to notice on my personal contact page within my iPhone contacts that there is a random email listed that is not mine. When I click on "Edit" to get rid of it, it doesn't show up at all as something I can edit or delete. It is not an email I have ever used and do not recognize. I did try and delete my whole contact and then recreate but it shows up again. I have attached some pics. In the first picture, you can see my contact page within my contacts. The email below, mor******3@gmail.com is not me and is not anyone I know. You can also see that my email with starts with robert is also in there.




Now, when I hit Edit, so I can remove the other email, only my email shows up in that screen and it doesnt give me any opportunity to make a change.




Any suggestions on what is going on and how to fix?

Assuming that your contacts are synchronised to a cloud account...


Settings, Apps, Contacts, Contacts Accounts, tap on each account and toggle off Contacts.

Respond with Delete from my iPhone, this is important!

Check your Contacts app and see that there are no contacts showing.

Then Settings, Apps, Contacts, Contacts Accounts, tap on the one account you use for contacts and toggle in On for Contacts.

See if it comes back
