The Truth about Goji Juice

The site Goji Juice - World wide warningstates:

This page is dedicated to all those unfortunate individuals who have been terminally ill and had their hopes raised by Goji sales people who's only interest was grabbing some quick cash from people who would not live to complain about the products that were sold to them. Stop the scams and let's stop the false claims.

The Goji berry is also known as Lycium barbarum L. and L. chinense Mill (Family Solanaceae) as well as the names Chinese Wolfberry, Lycium Fruit, Tibetan Goji Berry and Himalayan Goji Berry. The names are in common use in the natural and health food markets as well as various pyramid scams and ponzi schemes. Berries from the Goji plant that are claimed to have been grown in the Himalaya/Tibet region form the basis of these.

The CBC had a nice story about the Goji Juice scam a year ago.
