I filled out a survey to get a Smite beta key from this website http://smitekeys.blogspot.pt/
when the survey was completed it downloaded a .rar text file but when I try to open it it says it's password protected. Am I going full-retard and missing something obvious or is this site bullshit?
Thanks! |

To answer your question. Yes, full retard. |

What they're trying to say is that the beta key .rar is not actually a beta key file. You filled out a survey and got nothing in exchange. Now stop trusting random people on the internet. It will help with the full retard thing. |

| Oh god this reminds me back a few years ago when I did this for money. Put fake files into survey based websites and earn about 75 cents per download. Those days were good. Although honestly when you look at this website and a survey, its obviously fake. |

| I know I've filled out a few surveys in false hopes of trying to watch a movie online when my normal sources were down. |

On a sidenote, it is quite easy to open passworded .rar files. If you try to open the file in Linux, it won't ask for a password 
Same goes for accessing folders that you're not allowed to in Windows.

If only there was a way to fix that when they want to open a file.. |

Surprised you'd say that.
I didn't. Many many years ago I did something somewhat similar (visit a website instead of do a survey), but it wasn't a scam, and the rar opened fine with the password. |

Depends where you downloaded it from, if it was a torrent site it's most likely fraudulent. It usually happens when people are trying to download videos when they are first released. For example, when "Game of Thrones" released an episode, there would be around 15 fake videos with the scam. They wouldn't even contain the video half the time.
I'm sure people do use the RAR password feature legit, but generally that would be from a legit website. |

The closest I've ever come to doing this was to click on popup links to access warez. That was about 12 years ago? Accordingly, I was about 13. Also, the warez worked.
