I'm no lawyer, in fact know nothing about law, but that sure sounds fishy to me, too...

first question -- what state and which court?

some courts require you to file the summons with the clerk before serving, and the time to respond runs from the date of service, not the date of filing. others allow you to serve then file. I can't answer any questions until I know the jurisdiction.
