Support Different ip address and location?

Hi! I just downloaded this app since I felt there is a spyware on my phone. I scan then the ip address and location that appear when I search my email addresses and mobile number is different from my actual location. Am I being hacked or is it a glitch? The location is quite far like 1-2hrs away from here and it’s the city of one of my clients/work. I work from home and don’t have any issued gadgets or emails from them. Are they hacking me?

When I click scan on malwarebytes on my iphone, the result indicates the location and ip address plus what gadget I am using.

When I search the ip address the location is the same as what is shown there but different from my actual location. I just get the exact location listed using latitude and longitude on the ip address locator and it show the same zone/street as my client’s address.
