Those are pretty well known traps when you play the advance variation (3.e5), I also have some games with those traps. The reason why this happens I feel is lack of theoretical knowledge of this particular linea with 3...c5, because of course there are other playable lines for Black after 4.dxc5

This is somewhat well-known but it works too much for 2k rapid level though.

I really, really, really, really, really hate playing against the Caro Kann. 

I need to find a better way to respond to it that I will enjoy and this might be one such way - with the possibility of free points.

4....Nc6 isn't a bad move as such, the blunders come later, but more people who know what they are doing will play 4...e6
