Frequently Asked Questions

Site & Platform

  • What is your company about? What products/services do you provide? How do I use your site/app/platform?

    Our main goal here at iguard247 is to protect people and their property via this technologically digital connection between company and customer. We offer personal and asset protection services in the form of private bodyguards and guards. We also have products to protect your person and property such as pepper spray, whistles/alarms/noise makers, home security/surveillance/intruder detection systems, where we can install said systems for a small installation labor fee.

    How it works

    To use the website/app, simply just: 

    1. Select a service/product that suits your needs

    2. Fill out the fields on the product page: number of hours you’ll need the service of a guard; select the date & time of the event; enter the initial meeting point/address, etc.

    3. Then add the product item(s) to your cart by pressing the “Add to Cart” button

    4. Finally, the last step is to checkout your order

    We’ll then receive and process your order in a timely manner and dispatch the on-call guards at your requested location, date and time. You’ll receive up to date notifications about your order and the estimated time of arrival of the protection agent (only available if a customer has provided a valid mobile number to receive SMS/text message order updates) .

  • Are there any hidden fees and/or charges for using your service?

    We charge a small service fee (1-3%) and wallet recharge fee (applicable for registered members) to cover credit card processing fees and to maintain our service, so that we can provide you with the best services we have to offer. If ACH is used as the payment option, there is an ACH processing fee of 1% when the ACH payment is completed during checkout. Other than that, no, we do not have any hidden fees or charges.

  • How/when/where do I find out who will escort me?

    There are several options and places to find out who will defend you:

    1. Go to My Account and click on Orders and there you will find updates on the person escorting you on the specified day and time. If guest checkout was used and an account wasn't created, orders with bodyguard details can be viewed through the email you've provided during checkout.

    2. When an customer places an order, their order status is automatically updated via SMS text message (Only if the protectee has filled out the phone field and checked for updates on the checkout page) and will receive the bodyguard’s ETA (estimated time of arrival) with name and photo ID. 

    3. Go to https://teamup.com/kstmx7n1vcpy1tqtp3 and on the calendar, find your color-coded town/state/region from the Calendar’s panel on the left-hand side; then click on the event date under your name, where you will see the bodyguard’s name and photo assigned to guard you.

Once we receive your email, we will then keep your details off the calendar and reply back with the bodyguard’s name, photo and escort date/time for confirmation.
