The link below says that they're called fruitworms:

Where do you buy your fruit from? If you buy it from a supermarket, you shouldn't have problems with these. But if you live somewhere in Europe where there are fruit trucks, there is a small chance that you might find more.

I don't think anyone with believe you because they've never seen in before. Well besides on tv, when the student gave the teacher an apple with a worm in it. The only way they'll believe you, is if you show it to them.

With all these pesticides today, it usually isn't a problem--unless you buy organic fruit, but I still think organic fruit has some way of keeping bugs away.

Lastly, you should'nt worry too much about this. It's happened to my mother when she was a kid living in Germany. She bought some cherries from a fruit truck, and to her suprise, when she bit into it, she saw a worm!

So you're not the only one =P
