I've heard about it a couple of times.

Some books have been asking for similar information starting a year or so ago too.

It's probably just a requirement from the Financial Conduct Authority who regulate Skrill.

I've not received one of those.
It seems rather innocuous in that form.
Basically getting you to declare that you aren't doing anything illegal.
But if it came to asking for details/evidence and amounts of income/tax assessments etc. as I've heard Wm Hill have demanded in some cases I'd be telling them where to shove it.
