There's also the risk of me never happening to look at my transaction history to notice the message, so this isn't entirely fool-proof.

For that you simply add any non-verified message to yourself telling you to look at your bank. You wouldn't trust that that message came from you, but you'd at least check.

Ah, an excellent point.

Though if the adversary is aware of this, they can spam me with so many non-verified "look at place X" messages that I won't be able to check more than a small fraction of them.
