How does making a fake credit card work when you present it in person as the writer states her number information was stolen. It’s very rare to see a seller using a click-clack machine, POS (point of sale) uses the magnetic stripe to read the card so how was it used in all those stores without the magnetic stripe?

They produce a counterfeit card with all the info on it. If they are planning on using it where they don't have to present it, it can be a blank white card with a magnetic strip.

That is the issue with debit cards. Once a debit card and PIN have been pulled from a skimmer they can make a fake card and pull cash out of an ATM.
