Make sure it's from a source you know.
If you don't know who sent it, just delete it.
Many scams are started in this way.

The Stagefright Exploit is delivered by MMS, so as @MI5 has said, if you don't know who it's from, delete it. Here's a guide about the exploit: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/android-stagefright-mms-hack-news/

950 million Android phones are vulnerable. If you use Google Hangouts and you haven't got it set up correctly, you don't even have to open the infected MMS and it could corrupt your phone.
