Q: I live in Nevada. I was just served papers, the woman handed them to me did not sign anything and left?

I was served papers hand to hand by a woman she didn't sign anything at all. I have this all on video and audio. The papers are for debt summons. Don't they have to sign a receipt copy and give it to me? I was told by a coworker they have to sign it when they give it to me.

The proof of service does not have to be signed in your presence or given to you.
