Taking to her Instagram Story recently, Liu shared a strong warning about impostors and urged fans to be careful on social media.
"This is my only instagram account," Liu told her fans, adding, "Heard there were some accounts pretending to be me, hope yall aren't falling for em lol don't get scammed & the only other social media account I got is my one tiktok acc."
Liu's official Instagram account boasts an impressive 7M followers, growing significantly during her time at the Winter Olympics and her massive wins on the ice.
She shared an IG post advertisement on Tuesday featuring Team Japan's figure skating medalists, Kaori Sakamoto and Ami Nakai. All three women stand together, smiling, and holding up their medals for a photo.
In a second photo, Liu poses solo in a white jacket and pants, holding up her gold medal, mainly to advertise the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 Olympic edition phone.
"Grateful to have shared the podium with two incredible teammates of mine on this crazy Olympic journey! Proud of what we accomplished together and individually," part of the IG caption said.
