Careful using this to try to generate €. I know someone on here said that they tried some variation of that and got banned for it. Apparently, GI either monitors or the app reports if you receive too many friend codes within a certain period and they can ban you based on that, too. I'm not sure if that is an auto-ban like the time cheat or they do that manually. I believe the ban was detected based on IP addresses of the friend code senders. I probably got the details all wrong, but just use this cautiosly.
