I believe when FC reviews the referral, you will just lose the bonus. As long as you and your friend use different IP addresses from here on out, there shouldn't be an issue.

I would open a support ticket and let administrator know this. Mistakes happen.

It seems as if a support ticket is the way to go with this issue.  And in the future, taking care that any of your referrals don't use your computer!  I've never bothered referring my family members who lives in the same house because the IP address would be identitcal.
End the suffering!  Get your cats - and all strays and ferals - spayed and neutered!
