Wait...a recipt directly showing you ordered this isn't enough? You have to take pictures and write a note as well. This is like those rebates requiring you to mail parts of the box in. All designed so you don't deal with the hassle.

They want to see it disabled/destroyed, not just that you bought it. Otherwise a lot of people would simply provide the receipt and get a free-but-dangerous power bank which they would totally stop using, wink, wink.

How does pictures of owning it show you have disabled or destroyed it...which is btw a terrible idea, seriously they're already fire hazards with this recall, are people supposed to take a video of the damn thing on fire?

At least they got the name right.
