I got a couple of weird messages too, but none with download buttons. Both read:

SMSac.ac: amypfogarty's Broadcast: hi- what are you up to these days? Stop? Reply STOP BCST

I wonder if it's some kind of mobile spam? Like if i reply i can buy a penis enlarger or have sex with some lady while her husband is away... etc, etc..... Or if you hit the download button you get spyware installed onto ya phone and it records what you talk about then sends you spam sms messages about things that might interest you?

What ever you do, dont msg back to it. These are the msg's that lock you into a sms service that charges you $5 per msg sent back AND forth.
Has been in the paper and news quite a few times.
