[Colif]

concoct = create a plan - https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/concoct
Scheme = plan - https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/scheme
so both words mean same things.
Wire fraud is when someone makes up a lie to trick other people out of their money. And uses email to carry out the delivery of the messages.
