This forum is not the place to vent your frustration with dishonest service companies.
You are right in that people should ensure that the refrigerant they get charged for is what got put in the system.
A scale is one way of weighing the refrigerant but a more accurate way is to use a graduated cylinder.

A problem with scales is that in Canada anyway there are no scales available that are certified for mobile use.
It all boils down to finding a service provider you can trust.
Also, this site is for homeowners to perform basic hvac repairs and not one to break into sealed system repairs.
There are other places to learn that.
