Kim Kardashian BOGUS BABY Pictures for billions of Dollars - SEE PHOTOS

Someone has been trying to sell this baby pic for A LOT OF $$$$ -- allegedly the spawn of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.  But sources connected with the couple tell TMZ ... IT'S A FRAUD!

Kim felt people in her world were going to hawk baby photos, so she wanted to catch the culprits quickly.   Kim hatched a plan and sent a half-dozen of her "friends" pictures of a baby she claimed was North West -- but  it was an impostor infant.

Sure enough ... someone went to TMZ and tried selling the pic (above).  Gotta say ... it looks like it could be Kim and Kanye's baby.  It has the right ... well, you know ... but Kim would obviously pick a pic of an impostor baby that had the qualities of her own child.

K & K sources have seen the pic and claim it's not the real deal.

By the way ... another pic of a baby Kim sent to several other friends -- Bogus Baby #2, picture below.  The source also confirmed she's waiting to see if someone tries to sell this one as well.

Hmmm!
