Where's the scam here?

Could be this scenario (which I've done):

They're using a burner number in case you're a scammer.

When they have some sense that it's legit, they give you a "real" phone number.

I use a Google voice number, and get a message, but now they've made it more difficult to send that number to a regular phone.
I used a "burner" app that issued a temporary phone number for calls and texts. It was easy to use, just buy a credit and use that credit for a phone a number that would blow up in a few days. Unfortunately, they went to a subscription-model and the app is now a steaming pile of hot garbage. Not sure what I'll do the next time.
