PGP uses the "Web of Trust" model, rather than the x.509 "Chain of
Trust", but it does rely on you trusting people who in turn trust the
signer's key.  For example, none of you likely trust the signature on
this message very far :).

To be fair, that's the same problem with S/MIME -- no telling whether or
not the machine itself was compromised.

Honestly, the best way around that is physical -- i.e. "come down to the
office and ..."; rather than acting on instructions received via
electronic means (in fact, that's how several businesses I interact with
are - you either have to walk into their office, or use the phone
[although phone instructions can be rejected if they're "doing too
much"]).
