Email Warns of Hidden Camera in Tanning Salons
Status: Hoax
A small British newspaper reports that tanning salons in New Eltham (which, I guess, is a suburb of London) are being targeted by a hoax email warning that hidden cameras are snapping photos of women as they tan. The email is accompanied by "dozens of revealing pictures of naked women using tanning beds, who are obviously unaware they are being photographed." (Two of the pictures are below.) The article continues:Angry women who use tanning beds are circulating the pictures to each other, believing them to be genuine and warning their friends and family not to use the salon.
Apparently the candid pictures actually show a tanning salon in California. The article doesn't state if the photos were taken by an actual hidden camera, or if they were staged. But I'm sure that this hoax must be popping up in more places than just New Eltham (especially if it started in California).

Um, dude, when I click on the pictures, nothing happens. No enlarged image pops up.
Can you please fix this ASAP?
Thank you.

Thank you.
Sorry, no bigger images. I got the pictures from the article, and that's all they had. I've never received a copy of the email itself.

Angry women who use tanning beds...
Now there's a great band name.

Now there's a great band name.
Yikes! It looks like the manager of that salon uses her own products a bit too often. She's not tanned, she's barbecued.
It does sound like somebody has a grudge against tanning salons in that area. I'm surprised that what the e-mail sender is doing isn't illegal in some way.

That manager really does tan too much, which is made all the more amusing by the fact that her last name is "White."

Recognise the tanning studio?

Best excuse I've heard lately for circulating "dozens of revealing pictures of naked women ..."
My e-mail is never that exciting.

My e-mail is never that exciting.
I wonder if this e-mail was originally sent out specifically to customers of these salons, or if whoever started the whole thing just e-mailed people at random hoping that eventually it would be forwarded to customers?

I have been to the Sollarium shown in these photos. It is not in Calafornia, but in Eastern-Europe.

For those of us "Craig", who need images to be enlarged, merely hang a quality magnifying glass of fairly large diameter on the side of the monitor ready for instant use...as I do. And if you have a top line screen the pixels are hardly noticeable.

That is just so awful. Makes me don't want to go to tanning salons anymore but rather do some tanning at home.
