There are 489 false matches for my profile in other trees. Also, there are false matches for another 30 profiles of my relatives.
Why and how I could resolve problem?

Dan Cornett The first thing to do is add as much detail as possible about the profiles you manage; birth dates, death dates, full names, locations, etc. go a long way to reduce the number of potential matches. Additionally, relationships (parents, siblings, spouses, children) all help when comparing profiles .... which leads to ...
After that, it is a matter of comparing profiles ... definitively deciding on a "match" or a "non-match" with incomplete or ambiguous information is not something simple to "automate" -- it's best to have a person (like you!) to compare the profiles and either declare them a non-match or suggest that they be merged.
