Like Geni MyHeritage are not building trees and adding profiles, - the users are.
There are 41 other Geni users in your family which would get a copy of your profile if they make a full GEDCOM export from Geni - simply because they are family.
I guess one of them have uploaded such an export to MyHeritage.
From the I am working on now I don't have access to MyHeritage, but someone who have access could probably forward a message from you or at least identify the name of the tree owner so you can contact him/her using other channels.
My experience is that many users does not even know that they have uploaded a tree to MyHeritage. They simply started to use the desktop program from MyHeritage, Family Tree Builder, imported their GEDCOM export from for example Geni, and did not pay attention when the program asked if the imported tree should be uploaded to the website as well.
It happened once to me as well, and I had to log into MyHeritage to delete the tree there. You can also go into your MyHeritage settings to hide the profiles for getting flagged as smartmatches on Geni and other sites, - in the same way as you can hide your Geni profiles from showing as smartmatches on MyHeritage (http://www.geni.com/account_settings/managed_profiles).
If you get in contact to that user you can ask him/her to at least turn off that option to avoid the annoying smartmaches.
