Yes exactly. Is there a guide available for people that are interested to buy Bitcoin accounts?

there is no guide, you have to be able to recognize scammers on your own

although there are some good sticky topics on the matter on related boards it is good to read them

Prevention is better than a cure. Please escrow.

also you have to ask for signed message from an old known address in addition of using escrow.

note: the signed message should include the date the account was bought/sold, and that ownership of the account being traded was passed onto you. this will prevent the seller from trying to claim the account back in the future with a signed message claiming it was "hacked."

and also for the bitcoin address you should look for an old topic / reply of that person in which he has posted his bitcoin address.

IMPORTANT to pay attention to that post to see if it was not edited, because the scammer can hack an account and edit all the posts with his own address and the post date looks old but was edited.

in this forum look at the top of the post (the date and time of the post) if it is edited then there will be a line under the date and time (underlined text) and if you move your mouse over it, it would show you the time of the edit.
