Few days ago found an email from Skrill Brand Protection Team with following content:
"
Dear Website Owner,
Skrill Holdings Ltd. (Skrill) is the owner of the well-known trademark and trade name "Skrill". As you are no doubt aware, Skrill is a trademark used to identify products, services, activities and events related to Skrill Holdings Ltd.
The trademarks, emblems, words and phrases of Skrill are exclusively used by Skrill and any other use by a third party constitutes trademark infringement.
In connection to Skrill proprietary rights over its famous trademark we are notifying you of the following:
It has come to our attention that our trademark Skrill appears as a metatag, keyword, visible or hidden text on the web site(s) located at:
...com/payments/skrill/ without having obtained prior written authorization from us. This practice infringes upon the exclusive intellectual property rights of Skrill.
Also, by using such trademark, you have intentionally attempted to attract Internet users to your web site(s) or other online location(s), by creating a likelihood of confusion with Skrill’s trademark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of your web site(s), online location(s), products or services.
We trust that you will remove all metatags, keywords, visible or hidden texts including trademark presently appearing on the above-cited web site(s) and any other web site(s), or draw this issue to the attention of the appropriate person(s).
As part of Skrill’s Trademark Enforcement Program, be assured that we will continue to monitor your web site(s) to verify your compliance with this letter. Failure to do so will force us to defer this issue to our Trademark Lawyer for further actions.
Should you require additional information or wish to further discuss this issue, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.
Sincerely,
Skrill Brand Protection Team

Now also received this request from my hosting and have to remove some pages (with rankings) from my site. Otherwise whole domain will be blocked. These pages were not dedicated to harm Skrill, just list of casinos with Skrill as payment and text how to use Skrill (as you can see it everywhere).
Does anyone already had same issues? How to write a review if everything is literally a trade mark...
First Neteller adverbs gambling within banking portal. Secondly, Skrill and Neteller spam with 'newsletter' with casino and sportbooks offers. Now they activelly eliminate all competitors.
