A solid Caro-Kann as Black to catch your opponents off guard. e4 c5 c4 d5 exd5 & then Qxd5. Share your thoughts!

WHAT???????
Your header is the Scandinavian, your text is the Caro-Kann, and your moves are a very bad Sicilian!

Obviously those are not the moves he meant. I'm guessing 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. exd5 Qxd5 which after Nc3 Qa5 will transpose to the Scandinavian.

After Qxd5 c4 is pretty ugly here, white gets a Scandi without the downside of his Nc3 knight blocking the c pawn... I'd rather just play the Scandi.
If you're gonna go to all the trouble to learn the CK why play a worse scandi? You've spent so much effort earning a theoretical position and you just flush it a way and play a worse scandi. If you want to throw people off that badly play the portugese scandi, it's better than this.
