Generally if they have a brick and mortar location (i.e. they aren't a mobile-only setup) or they've been in business for at least 5-10 years, you can be pretty sure they aren't a scammer. There do exist mobile-only locksmiths that aren't scammers, but scammers with a brick and mortar location are pretty rare

I also use a brick as my primary bypass method. I just can't afford the ATF tax stamps on the mortars...

My father (also a locksmith) has a fake foam brick that he occasionally throws at people's window as a joke when they're locked out.
