We present the first evidence of charmless decays of the Bs0 meson, the decay Bs0ϕϕ, and a measurement of the branching ratio BR(Bs0ϕϕ) using 180  pb-1 of data collected by the CDF II experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. In addition, the BR and direct CP asymmetry for the B+ϕK+ decay are measured. We obtain BR(Bs0ϕϕ)=[14-5+6(stat)±6(syst)]×10-6, BR(B+ϕK+)=[7.6±1.3(stat)±0.6(syst)]×10-6, and ACP(B+ϕK+)=-0.07±0.17(stat)+0.03/-0.02(syst). Both decays are governed in the standard model by second order (penguin) bss̅ s amplitudes.
