Don't burners get their # recycled?
This seems like a pretty awful approach considering most of the sites I see demanding phone #s are doing so under the guise of improved security. It seems likely whoever controls that number will have some authority over the account.
All it would take is some stupid notification being sent to the phone number to inform whoever that is of something interesting being possible.
Combine that with the fact that burner phones are often utilized by criminals for variety of reasons...
