Hi,
Was this added to your Microsoft account as one of your verification methods?
If yes, are you currently able to access your account?
Besides the phone number you do not recognize, do you have another verification method linked to your account that you own?
AI answer
To remove a phone number that is not recognized and may be linked to the Microsoft account used with Outlook.com, remove it from the account’s security/profile settings and from Skype/Caller ID if applicable.
If the number still appears after these steps, review the Security info section at https://account.microsoft.com/security to confirm only known phone numbers are listed for sign-in and recovery, and remove any that are not recognized.
