Three Waiter Dubious Domain Divert – UPDATE

Posted on by

Hello Everyone,

Dubious Practices Update

Well, we are happy to inform you, that as of this moment, because we think it might be temporary…the domain, “The Amazing Waiters” is now parked with Go Daddy.  Upon some investigative work, we found that the name servers were changed to reflect the parking and not the redirect that we reported on our earlier blog post on February 19, 2014.  The screen shot reflects that The Three Waiters disconnected the redirect on Feb 21, 2014.

Did The Three Waiters see our blog post?

The Three Waiter Redirect has stopped for the time being.

The Fight Goes On…

We believe The Three Waiters still own the domain as well as our sister company, The Amazing Tenors which, we now report IS currently being redirected to The Three Waiter’s Website.  The real Amazing Tenors website is www.AmazingTenors.com…see for yourselves.

The Three Waiters are an Australian Company

The Three Waiters are an Australian Company with a US Branch in New York City Managed by General Manager, Brad Wilson.  The International Headquarters are in Australia with its majority ownership by Mark Bradley and Mark Bradley International.  The Three Waiters and it’s intricate web of bullying extends World-Wide and has been known to muscle on numerous acts that they feel tread on their type of event entertainment, including Tenors Undercover, and Incognito Artists to name just a couple.

Stop All Dubious Business Practices

In closing, we are formally asking The Three Waiters which is managed by Brad Wilson in New York City to cease and desist all dubious practices and to stop targeting The Amazing Waiters and The Amazing Tenors Brand immediately.  There are better ways to try and get business.

Singing Waiters in Riverside, California

An Amazing Experience:  Singing Waiters LIVE in Riverside, California

Recently, we were privileged to sing a surprise event in Riverside for a very appreciative group of donors and guests at the Double Tree Hotel.  The Amazing Waiters X3-Three Fabulous leading men performed a newly scripted show that featured many subtleties of the group and its staff, bringing just the right touch of personality to the fundraiser Gala.

We set the show in two phases for maximum impact, by creating a rouse that everyone would believe…we blamed this one on the weather (we would tell you but our competition likes to copy what we do).  Later the “Waiters” returned, one by one, creating a one-upman-ship until the rouse turned into a full-blown singing show, featuring Broadway, Jazz, Flamenco and even music by the Beatles!  A fun time was had by all…Especially us!

SINGING WAITER VIDEO

Here is about 4 minutes of live audio we are happy to post.  We love performing a wide range of music like this show and others we’ve performed.
