Hi there,

Yes, they are a legitimate corporation:

No, I wouldn't trust them - they use too many different names, have
changed address too mnay times, are not listed in the phone directory,
are notorius spammers, do not appear to have a physical office and
their website isn't functioning:

NIM Corporation made fraudulent charges on my credit card.  They made
three different charges with a different company name, but used the
same phone number which has an Orange County, CA area code which
belongs to an innocent party.  Then, they shipped a package via FedEx
to my address.  I refused to accept the package, as I figure this is
part of the scam.  I have NEVER done business with these scammers, and
I NEVER will, as they are crooks.
