Question 1

What is the "Online Ticket Fraud for NHL Games and Concerts" scam in Winnipeg?

Accepted Answer

Counterfeit or non-existent tickets are sold online for Winnipeg Jets NHL games at Canada Life Centre and major concerts. Sellers post on social media or third-party sites with prices below face value, then disappear after receiving payment. Buy tickets directly from Canada Life Centre box office or verified secondary market platforms with buyer guarantees. Never pay via e-transfer or Venmo to unknown sellers.

Question 2

What is the "Unlicensed Churchill Polar Bear Tour Operators" scam in Winnipeg?

Accepted Answer

City-based operators in Winnipeg offer Churchill polar bear viewing and northern lights packages at below-market prices but use unlicensed guides or substandard tundra vehicles. Some collect deposits and fail to deliver booked services once travelers arrive in Churchill. Book Churchill tours only through established operators with verifiable Churchill-based operations. Verify licensing with Manitoba Tourism. Pay deposits by credit card to enable chargebacks if services are not delivered.
