OPP warn travellers to be aware of fraudulent ferry service websites

The actual Owen Sound Transportation website is shown above with the Chi-Cheemaun page showing.

Grey Bruce OPP are warning members of the public to be aware of fraudulent websites offering services in the area.

On August 26, 2025, the Grey Bruce OPP were alerted to a website that was selling fraudulent tickets to a Tobermory area ferry. The fraudulent site appears quite similar to the legitimate source of ticket sales. The legitimate source has issued an alert banner on their website.

When dealing with any online purchases, exercise a moderate level of caution. Scammers will use fraudulent websites, advertisements, emails, text messages, etc. that may appear legitimate. Do some research before inputting any personal information or financial information.

The Grey Bruce OPP is requesting anyone with information to call 1-888-310-1122. Should you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or submit a secure web-tip at www.cstip.ca, where you may be eligible to receive a cash reward of up to $2000.

The correct website address for Owen Sound Transportation is https://www.ontarioferries.com

At South Grey News, we endeavour to bring you truthful and factual, up-to-date local community news in a quick and easy-to-digest format that’s free of political bias. We believe this service is more important today than ever before, as social media has given rise to misinformation, largely unchecked by big corporations who put profits ahead of their responsibilities.

South Grey News does not have the resources of a big corporation. We are a small, locally owned-and-operated organization. Research, analysis and physical attendance at public meetings and community events requires considerable effort. But contributions from readers and advertisers, however big or small, go a long way to helping us deliver positive, open and honest journalism for this community.
