time() does not return current time. It returns Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), Thursday, 1 January 1970

hi samie,
Two possible reasons come to mind...
1. you did not allow a period of time to pass between the timesetup() command and the time() command. Not sure what the correct amount of delay is but I use a delay 1000.
2. the other possibility is that the module is not connected to a network that has access to the internet. If the module is in AP mode then it will not have access to an NTP time server.
hope this helps
