I would search for people living a "perfect" life: no mistakes ever made, not a single cent lost to investment, not a single car key forgotten or an umbrella staying at home, absolutely nothing negative in their life. The more there are, the less the chance that pure luck is driving it, it must be a communication from the future.

This seems too easy, if the thought experiment played out with anyone remotely intelligent I would bet they would purposefully make 'mistakes' so as to not gain too much attention from a perfect track record.
