I took Aravindan's suggestion and installed "Anti Sms Spam". I successfully blocked messages having "expires" or "download" in them. However it did not block a message that contains those words and a button to download something. I do not do such things so I do not know what would be downloaded. The text supposedly came from someone I know, but they said that they did not send it.

What defense do I have?

Yeah, they are part of most of mobile security apps including Kaspersky. But who wants to pay $30/year to use them when you have free apps which can do the same task....

Sophos Is also free and has an sms and call block feature. If you paid $30 for one, maybe you should check one of the listed apps and save yourself some money.
