Bad links from other site to some pages that never existed

Hi! At the search console, I`ve started to get these mistakes reports. From about a month ago there are suddenly reports that there are bad links from the site to some pages that never existed, that has nothing to do with the theme of the site which is interior design. This links looks very spamy, and might be hurting my SEO ranking. Anyone knows what is the reason for these false links? How do I get rid of them? Thank you!

Adam Durrant: Rami these are 404 errors and are perfectly normal. Google will have a record of every page ever existent on your domain so these may be old pages that were either: - once upon a time indexed as main site pages by a previous owner - produced as a result of database/CMS scripting - or possibly malware It`s unusual that it has happened suddenly but I would say it was the first bullet above. Have you made any other site changes recently such as robots or sitemap changes?
