it would be nice if there were a "standard" , i get alot of models from out of state/country and hear all kinds of "horror" stories.
until then "information" varies from photographer/studio/etc. to photographer/studio/etc. , i would encourage all models to contact the studio they intend to apply to and find out exactly what is involved and/or ask questions/concerns at that time before walking into something "unexpected" , then contact another studio and weigh the information against the previous to get the "common thread" ( most reputable companies have similar operations/rules. )
i wish there was a way to "identify" these "low life's" so far i've noticed it's the people promising the biggest money.
