HOUSTON (FOX 26) - Millennials are now more likely to be scammed than the baby boomers.  According to the Better Business Bureau, 30 percent of scam victims were age 25-34.  And only 10% were 55 and older.

Scammers are apparently targeting that younger group online via popular apps, such as Instagram.
