I'm looking at the website example.com and when it's Googled by itself, it returns the normal results that are expected for it.
When you Google "site:www.example.com" it comes up with information that shouldn't be related to this website though.
I cannot seem to find any information as to why this might be happening. Help please.
EDIT: An important update that I noticed recently is that "site:www.example.com" is actually referring to the domain with . It doesn't have an SSL and there are no references to in the file or database. Not sure why Google would display it that way, especially for searches with "site:" only.

I don't have much to go on here so these are somewhat random ideas:
Have you verified every meaningful sub-domain and protocol (and set the preferred version)?
example.com example.com www.example.com www.example.com
It might also be smart to look into what various search engines have in their page cache (maybe archive.org, also).
If there's any A/B testing scripts, tag management solutions, etc. It's probably smart to double check all those, too.
