The companies taking advantage rely on their marks/employees being naive, so you'll be fine once you know to be careful:
1) Get direct employment with a reputable US company instead of via a contracting company.
2) Don't sign any contracts that have any penalty for quitting. You may want to hire a lawyer to review any contracts.
3) If you are in a bad contract and your employer sues you, make sure you hire a decent lawyer. The biggest victims were those that ignored the suits or tried to represent themselves and lost their cases by default.
