Fraudulent Recurring Payments from 2 Bank Accounts to PayPal.

HELP.  Checked bank statements and noticed 2 withdrawals called PreAuthorized Payment MSP/DIV for $500 each.  The bank accounts are the same ones I use on PayPal.  The bank says I have to contact PayPal but that is HOPELESS!  Because the amounts ended up in My PayPal Account, the system will not let me create a Resolution Center Query.  I suspect whoever did this was planning to withdraw the money from my account.  At no time did I receive a notification message from PayPal that these transactions were  occurring.  I quickly transferred the money, $1000. back to my bank, changed my password, had the bank put a freeze on any preauthorized payments to PayPal .  II tried reporting this on the Message Center but got a message saying this function is not working.  s this a new scam? And how do I find out from PayPal how this happened and ensure there are no further pre-authorized withdrawals pending??
