Communication Guidelines: Protecting Against Scams and Fraud

DEX Imaging understands that it’s crucial to prioritize security in all communications—whether by call, text, or email. Scams and fraud attempts are increasingly sophisticated, with some targeting private customer information in addition to company data. By remaining vigilant and following proper communication protocols, we can protect ourselves and our customers from unauthorized access and fraudulent activity. Here are some essential communications guidelines:

1. Identification First

An authentic communication from DEX Imaging will always clearly identify the sender or caller before requesting any information. Expect to see or hear the full name, department, and reason for the contact. If this information isn’t provided up front, treat the interaction with caution. Scammers often skip proper introductions to gain trust quickly and obtain information without raising suspicion.

2. No Immediate Requests for Sensitive or Private Information

We will never ask you to provide sensitive information—like passwords, banking details, or other confidential data—without fully identifying ourselves and clearly explaining the reason. This includes private customer information. A legitimate DEX Imaging representative will always follow identification protocols, and in most cases, won’t request sensitive data directly. Be wary of any unexpected communication that seeks sensitive or customer information, as authentic DEX Imaging communications never pressure you for such details in an unsolicited manner.

3. Protect Customer Information from Unauthorized Access

If you receive a request for customer information that feels unusual or lacks proper identification, do not provide any details. This includes requests for customer contacts, account data, or payment methods. Fraudsters often seek access to private customer information to conduct identity theft or fraud. Always confirm the identity of the requester directly by using a verified contact method from DEX Imaging’s official channels or consulting your supervisor.

4. Watch for Red Flags

Scams are designed to create a false sense of urgency to make you act without verification. This may include language like “urgent action required” or “customer account at risk.” Fraudsters use these pressure tactics to collect personal or customer data without raising suspicion. DEX Imaging will never use high-pressure language or requests that bypass formal introductions, especially when it involves private customer data.

5. Beware of Requests for Immediate Payment, Gift Cards, or Customer Financial Data

Scammers often ask for unusual forms of payment, such as wire transfers, gift cards, or cryptocurrency, or they may request private customer financial data under the guise of “security verification.” If you encounter any such request, treat it as highly suspect and do not respond.

6. Verify Suspicious Requests Directly

If you receive a message that feels unusual or lacks proper identification, do not provide any information. Instead, reach out to the DEX Imaging contact number listed on our official website or check directly with your supervisor. Authentic inquiries will always encourage verification steps on your end, especially when customer data is involved.

7. Trust Your Instincts, Report Fraud, and Protect Customer Trust

If something feels “off,” trust your instincts. Fraudsters often rely on individuals dismissing their own sense of doubt. If you suspect a communication may be fraudulent, report it immediately. We have a responsibility to protect not only DEX Imaging’s information but also our customers’ private data from unauthorized access or scams. Reporting suspicious activity helps protect our customers and reinforces their trust in us.

By following these guidelines, we all play an essential role in safeguarding your data and all of our customers from unauthorized access, scams, and fraud attempts. Thank you for maintaining these communication standards and helping keep DEX Imaging and our customers secure.
