Fake pictures of North West that Kim Kardashian used to catch out unscrupulous friends

She gave birth ten days ago and Kim Kardashian has already shown her stripes as a fiercely protective mother.
The reality star hatched a plan to weed out who she can trust after welcoming her daughter into the world.
A source told Mail Online that the 32-year-old sent a few friends a fake picture of her baby, who is called North West, to see who would try to sell them to the press - and now they've shown up on gossip website TMZ.

One of Kim’s so-called pals attempted to sell the bogus photo of a newborn to a publication.
The baby, who is seen wrapped in a blanket, could easily pass for being the child of Kim and Kanye West, who was born June 15.
But sources have confirmed that the photo Kim sent around was a fake with two images of a baby that is NOT Kim and Kanye's now appearing online.
