I have a puzzling cell phone problem

I group text with the guys in my band, one of their spouses and my husband. Five participants. A number we can't identify is appearing as a participant, but only on their end. Mystery number is showing as the group number, but my actual number in the individual texts. I started a second group text and another mystery number has included itself. I googled both mystery numbers. Search results for the first one gives me mostly sites in Spanish, the second mystery number search results are in an some Asian language. I have a V10 Android phone.

I think they had his password and the phone carrier could see it when he reported it . It's like they make an additional virtual phone ( or two) copy or something . I met him on a job out of town so I can't get the details to see if it's the same problem sorry
Someone steals it then sells it they told him. He was asking how someone in Italy could be using it
Anyway that may not be the case but do visit or call your carrier esp,if you are entering financial info or store it on the phone
