Millennials more likely to fall for scams than baby boomers

The Better Business Bureau reports that 69 percent of scam victims are under the age of 45. Young adults heading off to college are especially gullible, the group says.

This statistic is incredibly shocking, as many assume internet scams prey on the elderly. However, new technology and evolving scam methods put everyone at risk. BBB says that 78 percent of scam victims hold a college or graduate degree.
